Simple way to stop this is to create 2 new ebay account and together bid the price upto something silly.

Notice this in the payment information at the bottom?

"LIFE IS GOOD! "

Yeah, I bet it is.

Straight from the horses mouth !

Dear Simon,
If the o' was o' and not a 0' then this domain name worth was 4,000,000.
The www.p0und.co.uk worth is estimate at 50,000.
You can check it out on dworht or xzone.
Have a good day, take care,
camacoma.

The domain isn't even worth 50,000 YEN (About £250), I feel very sorry for the people bidding on this.

Thing is, he will get away with it....over £1k for that domain already...why wouldn't he do it again and again.

These type of ebay "scams" are just annoying. I personally think ebay is losing it's appeal for selling anything let alone domains. There has been a real brain drain of late with regards the people who are using it. Probably because they started advertising on TV, here in the Uk at least.

In the early days you would list an item, sell it and ship it. These days people really d*ck you around as they claim they hit the B.I.T button by accident (yeah right), or the classic "my little sister was using my account".

Ok, rant over but you get my point

I agree the ad looks very misleading and I am sure hes bidding that up loads, has anyone complained to ebay to get it removed.
