Can we get a list going of known, trustworthy and honest eBay sellers?

I was just involved in 2 different auctions and luckily I was outbid in both.

A couple of days ago I was contacted by the seller (kewdkw262( 0 )) of one of these auctions wanting me to submit an offer for this item (New Revo 3.3 Roller} directly to his email address. I thought this was very strange since there was still 3 and 1/2 days left to the auction, but what bothered me the most is that this contact was not received through eBay! He emailed me directly. My first thought was "Great this guy has a hack into eBay to get email addresses", but it turns out that this guy just plugs your eBay ID onto all of the biggest email providers and sends these emails in bulk and hopes to get a hit. There just has to be something wrong when someone tries this hard to get your money. I did report it to eBay but it looks like no action has been taken yet.

Then yesterday I received an email from the Loss Prevention Department at eBay notifying me that the other auction that I was participating in had been ended and if I had bought anything from this seller to contact PayPal or if I had sent a check to stop payment. This seller had 3 "New Revo 3.3" and all have disapeared with 2 days left to the auctions. Since these items no longer exist I have been unable to find the sellers ID.

I could say more about all of this but I need a second to catch by breath.  Sorry
