Well recently I placed some low bids on some items from another seller and sent a question about combined shipping and as the seller was very local about pick-up and cash payment. If they save postage I can bid more, I can't see anything wrong in that. No reply, this annoys me, but no reply no more bids. Well any way at the end of the auction I won five items, went to pay now, but nothing ther,e no methods of payment, no P&P and no address. So I mailed again. No answer and then again. Received a mail saying they had sent previous mails (they had not) and P&P was as per listing (no combining) and no pick-up, fine by me as they had gone so cheaply, but £12.50 postage for five modules from down the road was a bit steep.The parcel has just arrived, guess what the return address is Caliver Books, all of the items carrying shop price tags!!So being highly curious by nature I looked at both user names and found the seller, I had bought from, had made 21 of his 79 purchases from Caliver Books and had only ever bought games related items from them!!!Am I being over suspicious or is something rotten here?

Maybe it's about time we had a Shady Seller Blacklist, and rate them according to how many people had had bad experiences with them. That would give newbies, and people who hadn't come across someone before, a chance to evaluate a sellers standing/reputation with the people who have the most experience shelling out money.Bad idea?
