It does look very suspicious. If you look at his previous sales here, the first 'Apple iPad' he listed was an Archos 9 Tablet PC. He also listed the same laptop twice 2 days apart, and the two iPad listings are only a day apart.

Oooo I never saw that before. Interesting. Why would he use what look like pictures he has taken himself of an iPad?

Obviously, if it arrives and its not an iPad - I will simply just return it. That bit of info has certainly made me think :)

How many new tablets do his work provide him with :p getting rid of the Ipad and Archos tablets, on both Ipad and Archos listings, he lists, getting rid due to work getting him a new one.

The eBay account holder is a woman. The sale of the dyson vacuum says 'husband won this in a works raffle' and the name on the account is a womans name. The Paypal address is a blokes name on Yahoo.com.

Dunno if that has any significance :)

I did think that sellers accounts needed credit cards, etc to verify them. I really hope you get your iPad :)

Meh, but then again you could argue that the person doesn't actually realise what he/she is selling and could have mucked up the first listing, hence Archos/iPad thingie.

I dunno. I'm not gonna be hasty. I'll see what happens over next 24hrs.

I just sent an email asking if the buyer was a time waster again and if the iPad was still available. See if that gets a response.

Why did the iPhone 3G the individual was selling have "Buy it now £90" yet the auction ran to a winning bid of £200?. :confused:

Or was there no actual "Buy it now" button and they just said that in their listing?.

As soon as a bid is made, the buy it now option is removed.
