RE: eBay Scamming - a good read

ebay makes money on COMMERCE. If they screw buyers or sellers
that is going to hurt them. I don't agree that that they "favor"
either, what they need is both to be happy.

Who pays them money. Not the buyers that is certain. You can almost
always 
figure out who has the clout just by watching the flow of the dollars.

Thanks, Cotty.
I loved the canned message from eBay claiming that the scammers account 
had been taken over by someone else.

A while back I bought something on eBay, then the seller started sending 
me daily spam of his other auctions. When he wouldn't stop I complained 
to eBay. I got the same message -- his account had been taken over by 
someone else. Right -- and this mysterious other party used the account 
to advertise the original seller's products!

lol! It's called scambaiting, Cotty- this whole community:
http://419eater.com/
is dedicated to it!

I read the pdf though. Great stuff, but I was hoping they had a picture of
the scammers face at the end! Anticlimax.. :)

Cheers,
Ryan

Damn.. 
I want to know how this turned out :)

We know the scammer got the goods and paid taxes but then that's it - the
story ends just like that. 

But definitely a good read - and it does look to be valid too :)

Thanks for sharing Cotty :)
