Well, I suppose you can use 3 accounts but they are still all fake and from the same person.

All reported as fake
I wonder how long it will take Ebay to act.

I suspect they would be reluctant to do so.

Agreed Frank. But if they get enough reports/complaints then they may do something about it.

I wonder if the alias Macan-S is an aspiration or he's made enough money with his wares to drive one.

Unfortunately eBay doesn't give a $*%# about these guys trading on their platform. I, & no doubt plenty of other collectors, have been reporting these accounts to eBay for years & nothing changes. Items purposefully made to deceive, provenance added to embellish correct items, etc, etc, etc.
eBay is quite happy to provide a platform to these crooks to peddle their wares but will take no moral responsibility to protect buyers. "It's okay to steal but just not from me!" How any of these parties sleep at night is beyond me & always will be. Birds of a feather... really.

Best regards,
David

One more Flitter alias:
dragon-stone
The location Purley had me confused but I have no doubts it is him.

Yes. Agreed. The helmets on stands in the garden appear on most of his aliases.
Best wishes

Perhaps he's going through a Monty Python phase (Nudge-Nudge, Wink-Wink).

I seriously doubt it and I don't think the man has any sense of humour, well at least he is not funny.
