Well it looks like he's been dumped, I hadn't bid or sold anything to him but came across him in a search. Reported his antics to ebay and his dozen or so auctions have now gone.
Surely though eBay has the technology to see that a trader with 20 negs in a row is doing something suspect and should jump in before being told???

Its the old classic. Buy lots of stuff for 99p to bump up your rating and then go in for the kill.
This is the only letdown with ratings, who would you trust more someone with a rating of one that has purchased a £150,000 car or a person with 20 totalling £14?
OK, I'll set up two accounts. With one I'll advertise a £150,000 car. With the other I'll buy it. Then I'll delete the first account and you'll think I'm kosher...

The selling fees on a £150k item wouldn't be cheap
(First £30 is 5.25%, then 3.25% up to £600 and 1.75% above that for normal items)
