E-bay Warning To All

[dick9994]

If you buy things on line with e-bay, don't just look at the positive feedback....LOOK at the history as well....also the date they became a member.

SCAM, the scammer will buy a lot of one cent (under a dollar) items, and get a nice 100% positive feedback, then in turn sell items on the board. You are not protected with Pay Pal....see if this person accepts money order (meaning the seller is willing to give out his/her mailing address)...or just Pay Pal.

Just a word of advice, cause I got caught in one...lucky for me the item I bought was under $40 US.

Cheers

- Good advice indeed. I always make a habit of perusing their past transactions as the items I buy are usually in the $600 usd + range (gold coins)
