If your seller asks you to make payment to a bank account in the name of Shakawat Hossain in Kolkata, please beware. This is a fraudulent seller.
His latest eBay ID is kosher_100. Other eBay IDs he operates under are nitin_100 and red_laava.
I was saved from being defrauded of Rs.11750, because of postings on this forum. I won an auction for a camcorder from kosher_100 which is the latest avatar of Shakawat Hossain. The bank details match exactly with what was posted.
I tried to call him on his mobile number but no one responded. I then took a look at his feedback - 100% for 9 items. I then saw each of the 9 items and guess what - all of them were Rs.80-Rs.100 sales of game CDs.
I then did a search for "shakawat hossain kolkata" on Google and came up to this forum.
The moral of the story - we can't depend on eBay to help. In fact eBay does not even have a simple "Report Suspicious Activity" form on the site.
