I had my ebay account suspended because somehow, some little bugger listed a ton of camera gear under my name. Fortunately, ebay let me know what was up, and everything has been corrected. If you start to recieve a lot of official looking ebay emails, don't click on any links. They think that's how my account was compromised. The ebay people were very helpful.

Another scam, someone listed a low mileage 2002 Firehawk with a buy it now price of $12,000. The guys on the Firehawk board made quick work of it. Someone thought it looked familiar. Turns out all the pictures were taken from someone else's listing on Autotrader. The mileage didn't match up with the car's service history and the guy ducked the question of his address when people asked to see it.
So if it's too good to be true.... Definitely don't click the "Buy it Now" option, and do your homework!!! (Ebay did cancel the auction in the end) |
