So this guy has 4 SRT sytems to sell and no feedback. what a joke. i think someone caught this a while back too. most of us have the common sense not to bid but just wanted to give a heads up...oh yeah NO AFFIL

    I guess the scam works this way:

    Open an Ebay account.

    Post 300 popular items all at once.

    Get one or more gullible customers to give up credit card numbers in order to bid in Andorra.

    Disappear.

    Do it again next week.

    Ebay doesn't seem to care about this scam because they're only the broker after all. Trouble is, it keeps happening again and again. :confused:

    Either that or he's already made a sale on one or more of the items and screwed somebody over...

    Ebay can be a great place for hard-to-find items or bargains, but if you get screwed by someone, there are no ebay "employees" to hold your hand or help you out...most sellers there are honest IMHO but you do get the occassional psycho :D

    Forget about their "safe harbor" that in itself is a big scam--I've had many good experiences on ebay but a few bad ones that are hard to forget...

    Good catch on this one :)
