I was recently had by one of these type of scams with some autographed merchandise.
The seller gained a feedback rating of over 130 positives in two weeks and only purchased about $25 worth of merchandise. Then they posted 2,260 one-day auctions in three days with average selling prices of phoney merchandise around $30. All winning bidders ID's were kept private and almost 1,700 of the auctions were ended with successful bidders.
So, for a $25 investment and a free e-mail address from Seeqmail, they generated over $50,000 in sales.
Subsequent filings with the ifccfbi.gov resulted in my money being returned by eBay and the user was kicked off. Problably very happy and on his way to a bank in the Cayman Islands.
It always pays to check what the eBay'er has been buying and selling to get their feedback. Do real superbike carbon fiber experts need to forego the millions of free recipe sites on the internet and purchase theirs for 99 cents each on eBay?
