this listing alone will make him £10,000 if all sells, but it's not actually a scam

Seen these before. No, it tells you what you will get so is not a scam but not in the 'spirit' of ebay, dont suppose he cares though.

Not sure what to think. Everything's £49.99! I've heard there's ex police bargains to be had but never really looked into it.
    Can anyone elaborate please? :-/

all his feedback are from today, and about 95% are from the same person

all the positives for the actual £50 ones have kept their own comments private

all cos ebay decided to let multiple feedbacks from the same person all count as individuals!!

I kept it on watch, gonna see what feedback comments appear in the next few days

look lower down, he has 2 negs from people he obviously isnt connected with who bought £49.95 ebooks!

my mate Kayleigh was almost tempted to bid but clearly hadnt read the advert, and asked me to give my opinion and obviously the "125 available" was the first obvious sign of "too good to be true!"

Just goes to show read everything twice before you make a bid. reminds me of the "empty box" sale you think you are bidding for the item when in actual fact your bidding on the empty box it came in >:(

he cleverly uses a font colour close to the background colour of the adverts, making it easier for someone to not bother reading it all

i just had another look at his completed listings, he created the "garden" listing first with about 180 items on it at 50p each, one person then bought them all to get him the high feedback to start off with, he's then listed 8 seperate £49.95 listings with 100's available in each one, and sold nearly 400 in total, approaching £18,000 if each sale completes, and thats not including the £7 postage he's charging to e-mail the info!!

Just looked at this closer, surly that fed back is fraudulant, and therefore illegal, uses the same buyers which I would think is him.
Goes to show you really really must read everything and study, not just look at feedback.
