Stupid people and their money are soon parted. I really don't feel too sorry for them.

Crikey! There are a lot of stupid people. There were at least a dozen bidders on this and they put in a total of 84 bids to work a starting price of 99 cents up to $4100.

Re: [meteorite-list] Russia meteorite ebay fraud
This is ridiculous but, Not to worry. You cannot be ripped off on ebay any longer. With Ebay's buyer protection policy ebay will assure you get your money back. It is now bullet proof. All you do is file a not as described. complaint and ebay will return your money (even if they have to pay it their self) . This works 100% of the time. So, these idiots are just wasting their time as long as the buyers complain.

Hi MikeG, You are old ebay school. Ebay now credits fees and they also turn dead beats over to an agency for collection. They will now ruin the sellers credit if they don't pay so, in the long run these scammers will pay one way or another. So, don't ever be afraid to buy anything on ebay. Carl meteoritemax -- Cheers Galactic Stone Ironworks meteoritem...@gmail.com wrote: True, but just like with insurance fraud, the rest of the honest buyers and sellers are left holding the tab for the gullible-bidders and the scammers who prey on them. The buyer pays $4100 via PayPal to some scam-artist. Buyer gets nothing or coprolite from the seller. Buyer files a eBay/PayPal dispute against the seller. Buyer wins the dispute case by default because the seller has no intention of refunding the sale. Buyer gets his money back. Seller gets to keep the money and run off, albeit with their account(s) suspended or flagged. The venue (eBay in this case) keeps their fees, regardless of which way the case goes. eBay and/or PayPal writes off the loss on their taxes at the end of the year. The rest of us pay for it. Lather, rinse, repeat. On 2/19/13, cdtuc...@cox.net cdtuc...@cox.net wrote: This is ridiculous but, Not to worry. You cannot be ripped off on ebay any longer.
