The people he had made transactions with ALL had really really high feedback as well. In their profiles, they too had several small item purchases with the same people as the buyer/seller.
My guess? Someone has a group of accounts (perhaps hacked?) that they jacked up the feedback to make scamming a few transactions more seemless? I have no clue.
I reported them to eBay to look into more. Some of their transactions might be legit, but it's hard to say what's scam and what's not. Here are the usernames that I saw that were 'suspicious'

Basically, don't JUST try the high feedback. Look at WHAT the feedback is, and who it's from. |
Good call... looks like someone "gaming" the feedback system.
And you have to figure that anyone trying to build a "false reputation" has something up their sleeve(s)...
[Of course, it could also be all the same individual.]
