Yes it certainly seems strange for someone to start a new user id to sell such a valuable item. ![[Confused]](confused.gif)
Not actually sure how you could confirm that the two user ids are in fact the same seller to make the previous feedback relevant.
As you can no longer see the email address of a user id the only other way would be to do a ‘request for contact details’ for each user and compare. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
As far as I am aware this is only possible if you are actively involved in a transaction with the other user id so you would have to be currently bidding. By requesting details you are also providing your details to the seller which may not be a desirable event. Also as the ‘old’ user id is not currently active a ‘request for contact details’would not be possible for this one so you would have nothing to compare it with! hmmm So unless there is another simple way of confirming it I would imagine you would have to contact eBay for some verification – if they are able to. ![[Suspicious]](graemlins/suspicious2.gif)
Very strange..I can only echo the sentiments of previous messages “buyer beware!”
…of course there could be a simple explanation for all of this! ![[New Laugh]](graemlins/newlaugh.gif)
seems a bit long-winded but hopefully you get the gist ![[Silly]](graemlins/silly.gif)
