Ebay Thief Reveals Tricks of the Trade
« on: September 24, 2003, 10:01:16 PM »
Posted this in the Misc section, but thought some of you might not venture there.

Been seeing several claims in the Buyer/Seller feedback forum about people getting ripped off, so I thought it would be appropriate to post this article so everyone will know how to rip people off, not just the thieves.

I know that it's a pain, but I think that I have said it before. Using an escrow service is your best protection against bad transactions. Granted it costs a small fee, but if you're a little leery about who you're dealing with, it's certainly worth the peace of mind that it provides.
