This link has 3 or 4 pages of writing, mostly pictures, and it shows that with a few friends online, you can catch and make the scammers look like fools at their own game.

I recommend on reading this because it has a lot of humour and for those who do use EBAY, be aware of what some people can be capable of doing. This is also a wake up call to do some of your own checking before purchasing or selling anything on EBAY. Enjoy. cool

That story was really funny!!

I was lucky I put up a shit when I bought something a little while ago. I'm a huge Il Divo fan, & they were selling the self titled album (2004 release) with a pamphlet that was released only for a short time with the Ancora CD. I really wanted the pamphlet & figured for $15 it was worth getting a CD I already had, as I could use it as a gift or something. I got out bid on the item, but the seller came back with a second chance offer. I was overjoyed, as I really wanted it, so I payed straight away. A day later she e-mails me saying that I would no longer recieve the pamphlet, as this was a second chance offer. & sent back saying that she had no right, as she had never mentioned it when she sent the second chance offer & what I bid on was still the CD plus the pamphlet, & if she couldn't either refund my money or send me the pamplet with the CD I would complain to eBay. She turned around & said that she did have a pamphlet left. To me it just looked like her trying to rip me off & keep the pamphlet using the second chance offer as an excuse. Not to mention her account disappeared when I went back to notify her I recieved the items.

Meh , my cousin got threatened by some punk (over e-bay) who said he was a leg-breaker. Her husband got pissed off and told the guy if he continued threatening his wife he'd run the bastard down.

No more calls.
