Something definately not right here, £50 UK pounds for shipping and also has the verified account tab in profile.....heres how you qualify - quote: Establish your proof of identity with ID Verify - an easy way to help others trust you as their trading partner. The process takes about 10 minutes to complete and involves updating your information over a secure connection and answering a few questions. When you're successfully verified, you will receive an ID Verify icon in your feedback profile. Currently, the service is only available to residents of the United States and U.S. territories (Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands and Guam.)
How did he manage this from China?

Someone must have dimed the guy out to the Eban Gestapo. Here's the message I get when trying the link: This Listing Is Unavailable This listing (#6597335809) has been removed or is no longer available. Please make sure you entered the right item number.
If the listing was removed by eBay, consider it canceled. Note: Listings that have ended more than 90 days ago will no longer appear on eBay.
Try searching for another item now. "Consider it canceled" . The feedbacks were all from Chinamen with 1 feedback apiece, and all the user names were smilar to the seller's. Strange indeed.

I was the snitch, I have had two honest items cancelled lately by EBAY and this really gets my goat when an obvious fraud is allowed to continue while my items, listed according to their stooopid rules gets cancelled. I beleive this seller is based in the States as he has qualified for the verified seller status ( only available to the States )but has used the location loophole to list his country as China in order to charge extortionate amounts for shipping. Either way the auction was a scam as listed by 7.92, pictures stolen from a UK seller. Probably a try out on a cheaper item to see if the scam worked so be vigilant if I where you .
