I was under the impression that as long as you stuck to the eBay guidelines,
you were insured against fraud. If the item is too good to be true, eBay
being the intermediary, should make good by reimbursing you when the auction
they oversaw turns sour.
One VERY obvious scam to be weary of is the seller sending an email to all
the bidders to say the item was sold but the buyer dropped out so, as you
made a bid, you are being given the chance to purchase the item! Of course,
since you weren't the successful bidder and you'd be entering into a private
sale, I can't see how eBay would back your claim when the 2.5k 1Ds doesn't
turn up on your doorstep.
There's something to be said for another old saying "A fool and his money
are soon parted."
My Tupence worth...any raise?....
