Does any one know of a guy

Name: jacob
User Name: jacob3647
Suburb: Manukau City

He has been placing fake bids on trade me for over a week.. may be longer.
I sold my 12 meter Nash kite to him (he won the Auction).
He has no intention on buying any of the equipment.
Places the highest bids on quite a few kites..
This prick must think he has some money.

I have contacted Trademe.. Please note they charge 2 dollars a min to talk to them. They have done nothing. No response back from them..
At that rate, I would not be surprised if its trade me..
And the smuck is still placing fake bids.

If you know who this twat is please let me know.

It's entertaining isn't it!
Try under Help > Selling > Problem with buyers:
<www.trademe.co.nz/STRUCTURE/HELPDOCS/DEF...?HELP_ID=294>

Report the bugger and shut him down. Hell have to get a new mail addie to get re-registered in order to place bids as they'll have a watch on that user/e-mail address.

Reported him a few times..
Trademe have done nothing...

I am surprised to know that they dont care if a sale goes through or not.
I guess they make more money by you calling them to ask them whats going on.
2 Dollars per min.

They also wont contact the other person on behalf of the seller.
I asked them to let me know what was going on and they have not called me back.
If thats the case I can create new hotmail accounts all the time and create fake bids.. Very strange. But like you say !! CAN BE FUN

Just wait untill Trademe want the money on the successfull auction... then you'll get response!

That's a shame... though come to think of it there was more than one person complaining about the person wasting my time. We all left scathing feedback and that probably got him kicked off.

I have just gone back onto trademe and they have removed all my comments warning the sellers about this guy. They are still letting him trade... :roll:

I think once you become address verified you can blacklist people and remove their bids from your auctions
Ive been reading alot of the comments in teh TM community forum and it happens quite a lot, Did you give him bad feedbak

I gave him bad feedback earlier today.
I will have a read through the TM forum...

Thanks
