Is 24hrs long enough though? If selling something of such high value, then I would consider waiting a week. I know you can't mention that in the sale text, but can get away with it.

Sorry to hear your loss on this JP, I can't understand that its always the most careful who get scammed. There must be loads who are much more unsuspecting and never get any issues.

What frustrates me with Ebay, its happened to me, I buy something which seems genuine (Calvin Kleins) from a UK seller etc (avoiding overseas sellers to ensure confidence that the items are genuine), then when they arrive the sender is China and the Calvins may as well be Calvin and the Chipmunks, I can get better from Ethel Austins for less. When I complained the answer is "I am genuinely in the UK but I ship directly from my supplier", but still managed to get refund and upon complaining to Ebay there account suspended....
