Unfortunately I can't remember what the model is (one I've never heard of before), but there is a rather deluxe looking large format type camera (it's all black with a wooden grip) that is being listed on Ebay for £1 with free post and packing.
When you click on the listing, the page redirects to what looks like an Ebay login-in screen, but it isn't ... the address is another domain.
This is clearly an attempt to capture Ebay user's passwords.
The listing is impossible to report, because the re-direct means you never get to the Ebay page where the camera is listed ... where the report link can be found.
This listing seems to come and go ... it gets removed and re-listed frequently. If I see it again, I'll add the exact details here.

This might be connected with the Rolleiflex Digital back listings that have been reported on in the last few days.

Yes it seems like the same thing. "My" seller is persistent too, but over the weekend I took the time and effort to report all 53 of his/her listings.

Im now feeling a little sorry for sellers on ebay, having just recently sold an unwanted camera.. I stated that camera works but that hot shoe had been removed (who knows why) i also included a replacement hot shoe that came with camera but had never been wired in and attached,, supplied heaps of pics and details
Now guy that bought it leaves me crappy feedback and wants to return it... because he cant put his flash on it... Duhhhh
Whats up with people.. he only paid paper weight price for it anyhow... and to be honest if he hadn't shafted me with feedback already I'd have given refund and let him bin the camera

Unfortunately there are some nasty people out there. You are bound to meet one every so often, and when you do it sours the whole ebay experience. Don't let some idiot bring you down. I'd be inclined to do nothing and let ebay decide what should happen next - you have nothing to loose now bad feedback has been left.
When I sell stuff I always send it the next day, and charge the actual cost of the least expensive postage. I still often get marked down for speed and cost of delivery. Some folks want everything for nothing.

thanks John.. have already contacted him and told him I will be doing nothing unless he first retracts his feedback.. camera was exactly as stated.. nothing hidden
Its almost as if he just wanted to put a bad mark against me.. or someone, dont think it was particularly me
Have had that postage cost thing before to.. but most people realise I make no profit off post... just cant please everyone...
