Harold, Like Alex said, there's a very high chance that the seller will offer a substantial discount for the use of an alternative payment method. The buyer may or may not fall for it. Even if the buyer pays via Paypal, the Buyer protection plan is not foolproof and there's a strict set of rules tha...

So the scammer is getting a little more sophisticated... Instead of copying old ebay listings, he's copying current LabX ones. Take a look at item 250781449871 and then take a look at this LabX listing . This one isn't as straightforward to report. I have sent ebay a link to the LabX listing, but I ...

Sorry, already lost a bet today, not willing to risk losing another! :) Well, Paulo, I'd have suggested a "beer bet"--in which case I figure we'd both win regardless--either I buy a beer for a friend, or a friend buys me a beer. I wouldn't mind at all losing such a bet against you. Too bad we don't...

Paulo, I do indeed owe you a beer! Just let me know where you want me to send it. Hello Alex, nice to get in touch with you again. I wasn't thinking of the original seller (i.e. you) when I mentioned the beer, I was thinking of whoever was going to be the highest bidder of that fraudulent auction, ...

For the record, I have also bought from that seller in the past and have nothing but good things to say about them. Their feedback speaks for itself. As for UPS brokerage charges, it's a common practice among shipping companies, and there's nothing the seller can do about it. In my experience and op...

IIRC, the price was at a little over USD 180. No doubt it would have gone for much more after the last minute snipers had done their thing. The listing had quite a few tell-tale signs that rang warning bells in my head, the fact that the seller was from Estonia and had zero feedback was probably the...
