It happens on ePay
That is why the e-mail lists are the best places to trade.
The free online classifieds are not bad too.


I've done hundreds of transactions on ebay, dozens on the newsgroups,
the only place I've been ripped off (twice) is on the newsgroups. No
feedback, no bidder history, no registered user information, you are
truly taking a huge risk doing a deal on the newsgroup or online list.
I'm not willing to lose money that easily.


This same SX-88 has been resold at least twice by crooks who have hijacked
others accounts. Ebay isn't safe, either. Caveat emptor.

Go to the bottom of the page and see where the real account owner posted a
comment. The pictures were stolen from a radio collector's website.

I'm thick, so help me out: why would anyone, crook or not, bother to list
under someone else's name?

Maybe to show ebay that in their arrogance they are just as
susceptable to having peoples personal information stolen
from them as they are In selling that personal information to
a turd party which they have done.. IT will Happen AGAIN..

Personally I think It's a F***ing RIOT..

Just My Opinion
