What do we know about Tony? Why should we trust him? Have you met him or spoken to him? Who is he?
We need to know more. Keep ’em peeled. #ebaytonywatch

He popped up the day eBay were on Watchdog which I thought odd. They ran a piece on a guy not getting his money back on a faulty helicopter from a private seller. I’m guessing its some PR to balance that bad press out!
He’s very good looking, I’d trust him!
I think he looks totes amazeballs, I’m sure I’ve seen him on TOWIE as Mario’s stand in
His smile lines around his eyes were photoshopped in…he’s not really that cheerful in real life!
Some say that he’s terrified of ducks, and that there’s an airport in Russia named after him… all we know is, he’s called eBay Tony
Hasnt there been other faces on ebay for over a year? #moveon
He used to work at the chip shop in town. He wore a suit then, knew he wouldn’t last.
Think he was replaced by a guy called Elvis.
Makes a change from the ‘your in safe hands’ lady – the one that looks like the receptionist at the Vasectomy Clinic.
Any chance of a signed photo Tony? Lol
Sexy man 😉 Could I buy him?!
the silly sods laughing because were the daft buggers who pay for this wonderful promise
Hi all this is my nephew and yes i would trust him and he does smile a lot.
Cheers Tony
You could put your cup of tea on Tony’s flat head. Is bald extra sexy?
I think I bought double glazing off him. Either that or he was the guy with a suitcase full of polish, bushes, dusters, combs and other similar items. I’m sure he has called at my door at one time or another.
Got it!
He wanted to save me thousands by switching my internet, gas, electricity and telephone.
You Gotta switch!
tony is really a slimmed down dan wilson without a wig
Wasn’t Tony the shopkeeper in Mr Benn?
Everytime I log in to ebay I get that message. Tony is pretty annoying lol.
Conincidentally, I’ve had a few disputes opened against me, in a number of days since Tony popped up. Usually i’d only get a few every few months.
so that is what ‘Fast & Free’ is really about then
I spoke to a Tony in eBay CS in Dublin a few weeks ago. He was quite rude and talked over me a lot.
I wonder if it’s the same chap.
