Anyone have a fake buyer account to ring up the bid? I am not that computer savvy, but I've seen it done for bicycles when the scammers are a scammin.

Well, it could be a typo... maybe $10.00 with a misplaced decimal? Anybody bother to ask the guy?

You can report this to eBay if you think they're doing something unethical (like charging outrageous shipping). However, $100 shipping may be because it requires special packaging, insurance, etc.

Then again, bidding with a fake account wouldn't be too cool, either! The seller has his or her number available in the listing (probably another eBay no-no, as it directs people off-site). We could call and ask what the deal is with the apparently crazy-high shipping!

Take care,

I.

The seller has zero feedback as well, which is not a good sign. Could possibly be a banned ebayer that has formed a new account.
