    One company with multiple email accounts?

    Hello,

     

    When doing this search 

     

    I find multiple very similarly worded descriptions (look at the brackets) with just a dollar or so difference between them.

     

    Is this the same company posting under multiple accounts and if so can they be trusted to be carrying genuine Brooks Dyad shoes or should I avoid them like the plague?

     

    With the current $20 discount these shoes are brought down to around $163 which is $77 less than if I buy from Brooks Australia website.  Yes I know they are version 10 and we are now at version 11.

     

    Any advice gratefully received.

     

    Paul

    It looks like I wasn't allowed to show the search link because the results would identify the company that has the multiple eBay accounts.  No problem.  I should have read the rules first  😀

     

    Basically it is the same company and the wordings for the descriptions are exactly the same.  I just don't know what their motive would be to have half a dozen different eBay accounts selling the same product.

     

    All the accounts have hundreds or thousands of feedback and all are 98 - 99.9 % positive but why do it?

     

    Anyhow all good.    Sorry for breaking the rules by posting a search.

    1 reason would be: you would be guaranteed first page in search results

    IMO, other members can't advise whether they are trustworthy or not.

     

    You'll have to do your own research on that.

    Thanks for that.

     

    I already checked the feedback before posting.

     

    Most of the comments are positive for the half dozen or so accounts they have.

     

    I don't think there is anything else I can do to 'check them out' ?

     

    I think twyngwyn could be right and they have just found a way to have lots of results come up in a search.

     

    Appreciate all the help.

     

    Cheers,

     

    Paul

    Multiple accounts are not allowed only if they are created to circumvent bans or restrictions. Otherwise multiple accounts are not against the rules.

    All that I looked at are in Neutral Bay, NSW....so I'd say yes, multiple accounts....nothing wrong with that, by the way, within the rules
