What Does This Mean???

look at his feedback. no camera equipment on the list, and mostly he was buying....

don't bother, like some one stated earlier, I become very suspicious once i see "listing open to pre opproved bidders" or somethign like that...

isn't my money as good as the next?

Someone highjacked the account of a great seller but then wanted a western union money transfer. Operator wouldn't even let me send the money. Told me I would be an idiot to do it.

This looks like some kind of a bait and switch to me.
What do you think.

There's only two things you really need to fix anything, Duct Tape and WD-40. If it's supposed to move and it doesn't, use WD-40. If it moves and it's not supposed to, use Duct Tape.
 
The same type of scam had a listed "location" near me in San Jose, California. I thought that perhaps I'd email the guy and suggest we transact the deal on the front lawn of the local police station. Then, on second thought, I saw absolutely NO reason to give a scammer my email address--the spam resulting from that is likely to be enough of a turn-off.

I usually just fill out the usual eBay form and include the item number. Then I fill out an additional form suggesting that eBay place a "report as fraud" button on each and every auction listed so that reporting is easier. (Since you would need to be logged into eBay at the time, the eBay computer system could easily flag the authentic "report as fraud" button clicks for a human to review.)
 
from the pre-approved aucition and did not have any problem.

the description said that they have problem with non-paying bidders before that's why they ask fo pre-approval.
"Note: This listing is restricted to pre-approved bidders or buyers
only"

Avoid it like a bloody syringe!!
It has SCAM written all over it!!!

I think they all say the same thing, but I would advise you not to do it for anything bigger especially if they start making unusual payment arrangements.

I don't participate in Private Auctions or ones for Preapproved bidders. It's too risky.

There are some things I simply will NOT buy on ebay!
