Just noticed that. The Top 2 Bidders both have < 5 feedback, and their bids are 800 GBP higher than the third-place bidder. That's a seller's headache waiting to happen

Indeed it's my listing and I was just as ashtonished as all of you here. A little research and helpful clue from a fellow eBayer made it easy for me to act.

I cancelled bids from one user who has 0 feedback and has left nothing but negative feedback on sellers. 7 times during the 6 weeks of eBay membership. Clearly a non-paying eBay wanker.

the covers have some optical differences+ completely different obis.

Yeah, there might be some very minor differences in the package design too. I just thought it would be worth pointing out and informing about the 2 different versions, since they could easily be confused & mixed up.

Could you please post his ebay ID so others can block him from bidding on our auctions? Thank you

Some interesting looking and sounding items in the grubadub stack. Hopefully the prices will remain more reasonable this time; still not sure why some folks decided to pay such huge prices for some of his items last time around. Yeah, a couple of copies of Stormwindow brought $600, but I think the last one on ebay barely brought $50. Can't let yourself get too carried away when bidding :)

Dumb question, but how did y'all d/l the clips? I might want to save some of these but I can't figure out how to do it :oops:
I'm using a Mac if that matters.
