The bidder is using your credit card to pay.

This is also commonly used to launder money as a result of shop lifting:
tea leaf lifts clothes/goods from shop
accomplice goes in and "returns" them, without a receipt and gets gift vouchers
gift vouchers then go on e-bay and cash is the result....

Apparently if people have money troubles, such as bankrupcy, the official receiver doesn't look at paypal balances. Hnece a voucher for a new telly won't show up... 
So you could hide a shed load of cash in paypal and declare bankrupcy to clear huge debts??Sounds a bit strange.

I'm a bit confused - and I think this was the OP's point - why would someone bid over the face value?
Because they are using a stolen credit card, or need to get something like cash out of PayPoo without it hitting a bank account/being noticed by taxman, or they intend to perform a chargeback and get vouchers for nothing, or <insert appropriate scam here>Gassing Station | The Pie & Piston Archive | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
