> Why It's Nearly Impossible To Stop This Amazon and eBay Scheme

Great article, thanks for sharing! But the answer seems to be there:)

"He bought his own hat from an eBay arbitrager for $27 -- and then, before 
the arbitrager could go to Amazon and make the purchase, Wildermuth changed 
his Amazon listing price to $199. Result: The arbitrager could either lose 
$172 on the sale or cancel the purchase, which would damage the arbitrager’s 
eBay ranking. Wildermuth repeated this about 10 times. “I got these frantic 
calls [from the arbitrager]. He said, ‘Please don’t do this,’” says 
Wildermuth. “He knew what I was doing. And I let out a string of 
expletives.”"

Exactly. If it were not for your micro-crumbs I would not have a legitimate 
reason to continue to hang around this list. Not only was my very first 
purchase quite rare and from a country that currently forbids export, it was 
a birthday fall for me!

Still think I have the most interesting 'wrong' in the US;-)
