This seller comes back alive every weekend with a different user name.

This weekend he is: 22catalino

He's also getting smarter.

He normally lists single buy-it-now auctions so that you could see how many sales he's had before ebay closes him down and NARU's him, but now he's doing 100 per ad, so he's the only one who has access to his sales.

On average, he does about $5,000 to $10,000 worth of sales before ebay gets him, so lets try and get him down before too many innocent buyers get taken.

From the time I reported him to what he has up now, he's bulk added almost 150 more items.

He's got close to 700 multi sales up now.

He's also gotten 3 comments already from buyers he's sold to today.

Yea, I reported that scammer this morning. Hope they will move quick on this one. The weekends are always good hunting days on ebay.

Wow here is the real interesting thing about this seller and their feedback. Do a history on the seller. They went out and bought a bunch of items for free or 99 cents with free shipping. Now this is all to make them look like a legit seller with a "100 percent" positive comments rating. When if fact all they did was spend $20-40 to make them appear as a respectable ebayer.What a scam. I am sure this method is used a lot, but I just noticed it with this seller.

Kind of funny...they did buy a Bible- I guess they didn't read it though!:(
