Trader jailed for eBay fraud

A ROGUE dealer on eBay, whose business was based in Herefordshire, has been jailed for fraudulent trading.
David Hammond, whose Kington-based company specialised in selling television and audio equipment, was jailed for eight months after defrauding users of the popular internet auction site.
Judge David Matthews said Hammond, who pleaded guilty, had abused the trust of his customers.
He added that his actions also had "a knock-on effect for internet trading, which is now an important part of the economy".
Hammond, whose company Trade Enterprises was set up in Church Street in Kington before it moved to the Webton Business Park in Kingstone, retained £8,812 belonging to 23 customers who had not received their orders.
