Someone was asking about this a while back. I think it was Adrzejpwzhardtospellnameguy, but I'm not 100%. I couldn't find the thread.

Anyway, here's some information on that little "deal" http://www.cockeyed.com/ebay/scam/scam_information.html

Hopefully this will prevent anyone here falling for these shennanigans.

An old adage is "if it's too good to be true it probably is".

The ancient Greeks got burned on Ebay so "Caveat Emptor".

I really appreciate the philosophy of Ebay and all auction sites. I wish they were more secure and noone ever got burned. Sadly...when humans interact with humans...something negative is bound to happen.

I can't believe anyone would fall for these schemes. Honestly, I'm amazed that people are so gullible.

I remember the guy selling the guide for buying expensive digital cameras and stuff. Something like $10 or so to get a small catalog with web site listed where you could buy items costing aroud $1000 or more fomr less that half that. The sad part is he sold at least one of those catalogs every single time he put 100 or so up for Dutch Auction.
