Tis the season to be stealing.

I had posted a previous thread on an e-bay auction I decided against. My friend was not so lucky. He had won an auction and sent $1275 through Paypal. He then started getting e-mails from 5 others who claimed to have paid for the same thing. So far this guy has collected $9800 for a telescope no one has seen. His apartment address turned out to be a mail box etc. post office box. If youre doing some shopping on E-bay this Christmas, please take extra care. That 1 in 315,000 fraud statistic seems to be out the window this season.

Out of curiousity, where was the person that was selling that item based out of? I don't want to make assumptions about anywhere, but I've heard a LOT of problems about auctions that are listed out of the NY/NJ areal, so I'm somewhat leery about bidding out there, especially on high ticket items.........comment comment comment comment. bitchy.

White Bear lake, MN It seems he's got everyone's money. The Police have a watch on the P.O box he used. It seems the P.O. is right next to the police department, talk about irony."The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it."

whats the sellers name, if the account was opened within the last year e-bay requires a credit card on file to open a sellers account. so they would have a verified address and credit card info, i sell on e-bay for the past 3 1/2 years and have an account pre the credit card thing, but eventually had to update it so they can take the fee's when i sell... they used to just bill you and they got stiffed to many times and with bogus people creating names at random and scamming people.MY HT RIG:

Hoosier,
You would'nt buy from this guy anyway. He only has a -1 rating and it's very bad. Although he just sent an email stating the scope he ordered should be there by Christmas. He did not give any contact information or a tracking number. I think it's Sadam tactic to keep the police off of his back until he can make a decision."The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it." -
so whats the sellers name then,
Its almost impossible to have a unknown user anymore.. I've sold for years and know that for a fact.....MY HT RIG:
