I sold some pace forks to this guy - within a week they were listed on ebay. This isn't what I am complaining about as I got a good price off him.
I followed the auction with interest as I suspected he was shill bidding on them. I reported him to ebay and they agreed he had been doing so. He appears to have done it on other items he's sold too - check out items he's sold - not an isolated incident. Watch out!
