I tell ya, I sell on ebay all the time. I get no less than 5 emails from bidders, asking me to visit their website for cheap prices on electronics. Here's an excerpt from a recent email today:

Recently I looked researched some of their feedback, because sometimes they will have one or two. All the items they have won are just a line of question marks, like the title of the auction is: ???????????????????????????? and they are always Unverified and in China
I found on seller who had not been shut down yet, and had over 300 such listings going, just so the other users (probably the same person) could buy and get feedback. The point is, if a user has 300+ auctions running with the title of question marks, then they (ebay) are not trying very hard to shut these people down. I always forward the email to spoof @ ebay dot com but it takes days before they get shut down
