If their rating is not that great, move on.

I then asked him to provide another as the brand could not be seen due to camera glare, and asked him what brand and size were marked. After some emails where I was saying I was very confused because I couldn't buy shoe trees that I couldn't identify, he said they had already been sold off eBay, without comment about markings on them.

The seller claims he is located in the UK and has not had more than two or three items up on his site and has positive feedback of over one hundred.

Is there anything fishy here other than that the guy is a total pain to talk to? I was beginning to wonder if he didn't really have the item he sold or something.


well, at the time you won, you weren't expecting the shoe trees, so it sounds like they aren't part of the auction, and were sold either in a separate auction that you never bidded upon or in a different transaction. so nothing looks fishy to me.

As an ebay seller myself, I would do all I could to: satisfy a potential customer, sell the item...this would involve taking more photos. Either the seller is lazy, selling fakes or both!
