    I suspect that he'll be filing 100+ PayPal claims on 99 cent items now that the scam has discovered.

    I'm going one better too (I hope) I've rounded my band of watch friends to get him booted...so far, we've managed to get him to solicit a transaction outside of ebay...and ebay is surprisingly quick with asking for a call back for details.

    I don't understand why the peruvian scammer insists with the speedmasters 321, knowing that many know of his scams.

    When its too good a deal just stay away from it. I got burned on ebay way back when paypal wasn't yet the standard form of payment. More of Western Union or bank wire. Same thing 100+ positive feedbacks but mostly buying or selling cheap stuffs.

    I saw this one, and am thankful for the forum discussion on this because I immediately checked the seller's location and knew what to expect.
