While we're on the subject Jeff raised, Gil Gershman (a name I recall from
the past as being associated with some dodgy dealings) has been doing
something similarly annoying but possibly less venal on eBay, with what
motivations I don't know. He has won a couple of my auctioned items over
the last month then not paid for them. He operates under different user IDs
(e.g. 'sealofseasons' and 'shockofdaylight'), but when he has won the
items, he fails to contact the seller to make payment arrangements, and the
ID shows up as 'no longer an registered eBay user'. I haven't actually lost
anything from these failed transactions, because I can relist the unbought
items, but it's bloody irritating, and eBay don't seem to have done
anything about it apart from allowing FVF item relisting. So I'm not even
sure if warning people can achieve anything in terms of promoting a
pre-emptive strategy. Here goes anyway...
