    Scammer imo

    EDIT: Look at who has commented him and then look at their comments. Looks like three ebay users all commenting each other to get good comments (could all be one person or a group of mates)

    wouldnt touch it, too risky. Its just been done to bump up feedback on a n00b.

    Some of the feedback is for 1RMB purchases, thats like 9p.
