Inspiration on EBAY a RIPOFF....

[Bob3]

As Rob pointed out, the page currently says: This seller is not currently offering any items for sale.
Be sure to spread the word whenever you spot those suspicious looking auctions.

... is why e-bay doesn't require serial numbers to be posted. Preferably with a picture. That would make it that much harder to misuse the auction. :upset:

A freind of mine recently discovered that she was selling a large number of very expensive digital cameras. She immediatley changed her password and contacted E-bay.

If you have an E-bay account I recommend using a password consiting of both letters and numbers as they are much harder to crack. I also recommend checking your account now and then to ensure someone is not using your account and your positive feedback to sell non existant items.

No one who lives at the Camberwell road address given above cold afford a mask let alone a rebreather. They'd spend any money they have on crack

Thats not a nice area of london!!

49 is Germany's country code, not England. I'm pretty sure because all my family still lives there. Just checked a German phone directory, the 160 area code after the country code is the T-mobile (D1) cellular net (in Germany cell numbers/services get their own area codes, rather than making whole areas change codes because they run out of numbers )
Probably hard to trace the weasel.

There is a Inspiration on EBAY now. I contacted the seller about it and was told I could BUY IT NOW. If I offered an acceptable bid to him. He would close the auction. I offered $1800. He said for $2000 it was mine. And now has sent an address to Western Union the money.

Problems. His Info to send the check to. Isn't the info of the lady who uses the account.

The unit he say's is new. But selling for $2000? When it's now bid up to $7400?

Crooked to say the least. Be carefull. OH, He's said he already shipped it to me also. LOL

Be carefull out there. I can't contact EBAY. My computer won't let me. So if anybody can. It might keep someone from getting ripped off...

i would buy my eqipment only at walmart,they have a satisfaction guarantee.Peace :11:

Western Union. NEVER, EVER pay for anything off of eBay using Western Union. Its the first sign that something is funky. If the seller won't take a legitimate, tracable, recoverable method of payment, run like hell.

The internet is the biggest thing to happen in my lifetime, and eBay is the biggest thing to happen to the internet. I've done thousands and thousands of transactions on eBay. My music gear, 99% of my dive gear, fishing, camping, electronics, countless cameras, computers, fine silver, china, rare books, expedition wear, shoes, furniture, tickets, CD's, theatrical lighting, blah, blah, blah. too much to name here.

To remain eBay ignorant today is to your sad discredit. Treasures await you. However, this one point is not negotiable.

Never pay via Western Union. Never, ever, ever.

Uh Ohh!
E-bay addict and bed ridden due to recovery ... that might get expensive!
Found a single Force Fin yet?

Thanks for the tip, Ken, how's the leg?
Hope pain's in check and you're healing well.

Never pay for anything on ebay with cash or check, only credit card.

When you see "Western Union" and eBay in the same place, think "scam" He might as well be offering gold bullion. You'll never see it.
