Do you mean how he has a rating of 25, but no viewable feedback? It means it is older than 12 months. An up to now...dormant account for a while...

if you think there is something wrong with the listing, or that the account might be hijacked, use the report link on the listing.

I just looked to see if the listing was a duplicate of someone else's. Didn't find another one.

I would not bid...if you are interested try to get the phone with a warranty from an authorised retailer.

Mobile phones are best purchased that way, anyway. But a dormant account selling an expensive item ... I would not be bidding.

OK. I see. If I had a five hundred dollar phone to sell, with his feedback, I would be establishing some trust with some other items first.

I am not experienced with hijacked account spotting, but it looks odd...

hopefully Tazz or someone else will be along to check it out.

The seller and the phone are in Hong Kong but the item location is Sydney. A lot of the listing is in Chinglish.

I would not touch it with a barge pole.

amber-eyed-girl — Sun, 13 Jul 2014 06:50:29 GMT

Yeah

but is it a hijacked account?

It's gone

amber-eyed-girl — Sun, 13 Jul 2014 07:01:33 GMT

Good

Re: please explain......????

lyndal1838 — Sun, 13 Jul 2014 07:09:52 GMT

I suspect it might be hijacked Amber...just the fact that there has been no activity on it for over 12 months rings alarm bells for me.

But the fact that the seller say he and the phone are in Hong Kong but the listing says the item is in Sydney and there is a postage price for delivery from outside Australia....all very suspect.

Yes

that's what I was thinking, thanks for that. Not anything I am really familiar with.

No it's not.

I thought it was then I rechecked and it is still there.

Re: please explain......????

amber-eyed-girl — Sun, 13 Jul 2014 07:18:33 GMT

You are right, it is. Hopefully it is checked/gone before it sells.

if you look at the feedback by getting through to the new look profile, the ID has bought items like watches from Hong Kong sellers.

That's why I've reported it.

They haven't bought anything since October 2012 and have never sold anything.

Not anybody with any sense.

As you admit to being a seller of phones online, could we surmise you are trying to cut the competition off at the pass?

No skin off my nose - no way ever I would buy a phone online. Or a TV. or any electronics.

Call me a Luddite, or call me smart.
