But presumably the individual has a duty to do just that? The account has feedback going back around 1 year now. Presumably a different eBay ID was used on the account initially?

I am confident that the eBay Money Back Guarantee will cover all losses incurred by 'buyers' here [my estimate well over 1000 items at say £30 average]. These are a few questions arising from information in the public domain. The Business Seller Information quoted in the eBay listings has Hobby Shop 22 Ltd [an entity] and a VAT number as GB 434307026. On checking the Gov.UK site this number is registered to Adam Cann [an individual]. So one piece of information is not consistent with the other. eBay both could and should have carried out a proper check themselves. Companies House Services has 2 entries for Adam David Cann as Director. 1) CANNS MODELS LTD (12195781) 2) HOBBY SHOP 22 LTD (14590684) In each case the said individual is listed as having only 1 appointment, there should be a tie up and there is not. In both cases the Companies and Directorships are listed as active Canns Models is listed as having filed accounts only once [for a Dormant Company] in August 2021. Notice was given in August 2022 for Compulsory Strike-Off but this was suspended the following month. No further entries have been made. Hobby Shop 22 is listed as Incorporated January 2023. First accounts made up to 31 January 2024 are due by 13 October 2024. I am not sure of the exact legal trading style adopted in each case but it may well be that he has traded generally as a Sole Trader which is what appears to be the case on eBay [except for the Business Name].

The 'predicted' Trainwreck seems to be in play, or should it be described as 'Grand Theft [miniature] Auto'? The 'seller' has given around 1400 feedbacks in response to payments in the past month, many as a result of 99p start auctions for items that would then definitely sell. At least the listings have now been pulled so further buyers will not be impacted and subsequently disappointed. eBay will be busy with refunds.
