Worst Ebay Seller You've Seen?

Emperor26 . . . he's the guy with the godzilla figures in his pictures; he sells lots of Rickenbackers. He's also got a new account recently because his "Emperor26" one was suspended.

Why is he the worst? He likes to send threatening emails to people who correct his auctions, many of which contain pictures of swastikas, barrels of poison gas, and statements about wishing your family was killed at Auschwitz.

Yeah, I'd have to say he's the worst.

I always enjoy discovering new and interesting douchebags selling basses on Ebay. Can anybody find one with, say, more than 50 transactions and a worse rating that this guy?

From the feedback comments, it seems as if this guy sells stuff in a store and on Ebay at the same time so when you actually win the auction, the bass may have already been sold. Ebay allows this? :scowl:

Many (if not all) of the gcreps have fairly bad feedback. It seems to me some of the worst sellers, though, are the "Powersellers" who specialize in things like trading cards, cellphone accessories, and Playstation stuff. Many of those Powersellers have several thousand negative feedbacks. And there was one guy who specializes in AC adapters, who had over 30,000 feedbacks and only 80% positive. But I'm not sure how that compares against a guy using swastikas in his ads... bad "quality" over bad quantity? The guys I watch out for though are the increasing numbers of sellers who are brand new, zero feedback, selling rare collectible gear. Their user name is almost always something like "tobynmt4336" or "chriswbtr7892". I suspect that the profiles are computer-generated and the auctions are completely fabricated.

This guy is not the worst ebay seller, but this is possibly the worst ebay ad I've ever seen (and there has been stiff competition)!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/left-hand-bas...&pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item3a5d9fca9d

It's a left-handed bass, listed under :
Musical Instruments > Guitars > Accessories > Parts

No make, no model, no photo, no details, and he wants £200 for it!

Still, he only wants £5 to post it from Armagh!

Is he a complete eejit, or is his mum nagging him to sell it, and he wants to be able to say "But I've tried selling it on eBay, and no-one wanted it!"?
