What's with this seller?

What's up with this seller? 100% feedback, over 3,000 sales and member since 2003. But goes by a different name to the store name. And wow just wow, those prices?

What's happening here?

I won't comment on the prices because I have no idea if they are good, bad or indifferent, BUT a seller's store name cannot be the same as their eBay ID (eBay policy)

Fair enough on the name part but is it normal for the names to be so different? Also these prices are in US dollars not AUS, so even more ridiculous.

The store name can be anything the seller wants it to be, so long as it's not already taken by someone else. Nothing untoward there. So are those prices high or low or what? Their buyers don't seem to think they're high anyway, or the seller wouldn't be making any sales.

Indeed, the seller is registered in the USA and their prices are shown in US dollars. How odd

100% feedback - feedback is only for the last 12 months, so even if the seller is registered on eBay since 2003, the score is only for the last 12 months. If you want to have a look at past feedback, go to "feedback as a seller" and select "200 items per page" (quicker than the default option).

The seller is indeed registered in the USA, so prices are in USD, but just under the price in USD there is also an estimate in AUD if you click on a listing (an estimate because the exchange rate changes every day).

The only thing happening here is that you are trashing what appears to be a good seller in another country.
You have already been told that ebay IDs must be different to store names and that the seller is in the USA so it would be even more strange if his prices were not in US$.
Maybe learn a bit more about ebay before coming to the boards and trashing sellers who are not doing anything wrong.
You need to be careful what you post here.....there are a lot of sellers who post on the boards who will block buyers who may be troublemakers.
