I do not understand how the listing part of the scam works. An item is offered for BUY IT NOW price of say $5000. item trades at say $7-8000. item is sitting at bid price of couple hundred dollars. not many bidders.
the seller seems completely legal. has 98-100% favorable rating, 100-200 responses to generate listing. responses exist. prior items sold exist. if one bids say $1000, the bid disappears after a short time, and the couple hundred dollar bid reappears. how do they hack the website to do that. i have found these guys on golf carts, ATV's, heavy equipment, high end stereo and the like Ebay does find them, and does delete them, but usually not for 3 or 4 days. no parsimonious lectures on not buying on ebay, or one gets what one pays for, etc, please. i have purchased thousands of items on ebay, and was last burned in 2000 or 2002. regards jer ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
