Always examine sellers feedbacks and ratings and report untrustworthy sellers to the holders of the respective auction site.

Is this a new meaning of "prevent" Ive never heard of..... :)

DTI = Dodgy dealers and ruthless Trader Investment.
Sponsoring Iraqi SuperGuns / Nuclear and Chemical Weapon Sourcing and Pointless Animal Testing and  Tally Ho! Fox Murdering (Pest Control) a speciality.

Funny how they advise us on ebay buying when they couldnt care less who they flog death and destruction to as long as its good for %GDP....rant off ::)
