So I found this auction. But something didn't seem right about it. He mentioned his order was "September 2012 order #8122" and this seemed familiar to me.

Then i found it. the other order #8122:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-x-60-GH-s-...30952324907%26

Two different users. Same order. Picture of the order clearly states 3 units. Scammer is selling 10 units. Also selling about 9x lower than other auctions. By the time I spotted it to now. 4 people have bought it.

The amazing thing is the guy has a lot of feedback.

First seller has been selling for 1 year and has a high feedback number because he sells a bunch of cheap stickers/decals. And the second seller, also in the U.K, has been on since 2004 and also sells a bunch of cheap jewelry. Did you see the delivery date will not be til May or June!

I have been scammed off of ebay. I wonder who this shithead is? They usually are in a ring. Pieces of low life shits. Their hands should be removed by machete.

Neither ebay or paypal really have any options to help with scammers. There is an online scammer website via the FBI and your local police.. because you know how quickly someone is going to do something about that if anything at all.

I have a pic and all the personal info of my scammers on my fb. Should you be interested.

I got scammed on Ebay and Paypal gave them their money back ($470!!!) and then tried to come after me for the money when the scammer still had the item. I was like, no, fuck you Paypal. I have a Paypal account with a large negative balance now that I will never pay.
I also don't use Paypal or Ebay anymore because of this.

i'm always weary of people using fake names on facebook. most of them i put in a restricted group. especially if they have no photos of themselves or the account looks like a shell account.

I do it because I don't want anyone searching for me that I don't want to find me. I have both mdser's and my irl peoples. I think they accept me for who I am.

So take me off restriction, yo!!

I totally have a fake facebook account.
I started it so I could send myself free items from farmville and other useless, time waster games. I refused to bother my friends with the postings! With the first name Meme, you would think it would be obvious that it's fake but she gets more friends request then I do!

[Chauncy]

Ebay and paypal has turned into shit for both buyer and seller now. It amazes me people still use it.

LOL I thought about doing that back in the day when I was obsessed with Frontierville now I just can't get back into the FB games, I'm a Pogo addict now

If you paid, and never recieved an item... It's insanely easy to get your money back from Paypal. Unless the scammer was super smart and sent you an empty box with a delivery confirmation, which I doubt they use that sort of intelligence.

Paypal is so biased towards the Buyer in the event of an incident, that a lot of scammers have now learned to scam sellers who do not ship with a Delivery confirmation # (If you can't prove the buyer received your item, Paypal will ALWAYS side with the buyer and refund their money).

This is a huge reason most Ebay sellers won't sell to people outside the USA, because the USPS won't give a delivery confirmation for things sent outside the US. (Or at least they never used to, I am not sure if they do now or not.... I think it depends on the country.).

Some idiot tried to scam me once. I was looking for a good used car and I was interested in a Jetta. I wrote the seller and asked about looking at it. They told me that they were going on vacation or whatever, but I could go to any dealership to look at the car, and if I liked the car send them money through Google. Haha. I wasn't born yesterday.
