With a dozen cars up, he'll hook one or two.

Gordon Richmond - 01 Mar 2006 06:02 GMT That auction's still up as of about 15 minutes ago. 2 bids on the thing.
Does anyone ever make an effort to track down the perps? Seems to me getting a door slammed on their fingers might slow down their keyboarding for a while. <G>

John Poulos - 01 Mar 2006 06:14 GMT I called, and it's being "expedited" (translation, it'll be down by morning) Part of the problem is he hijacked a active account that has some legit items listed.

zoombot@cox.net - 01 Mar 2006 10:13 GMT As of 4:10AM March 1st the auction is still going. eBay ought to engage the services of certain characters to break the kneecaps of these scum-sucking scammers.

Mark Anderson - 01 Mar 2006 12:46 GMT You know, just for sh.ts n giggles I used the Live Help button on the auction screen. I chatted with "Miranda". What a joke. Here's what she said:
Miranda J.: I am going to report this to our Trust and Safety team for investigation just to be on the safe side, I would recommend waiting a few hours or so before you consider bidding wso that they will have time to take a look at it. In the meantime, I suggest researching the vehicles and sellers of listings you are interested in so that you will be able to make an informed decision about bidding and buying. You can find out how to do this here: http://pages.motors.ebay.com/howto/buying.html
Yeah, I think I'll wait a while before I bid. I did notice one thing though, it looks like a bunch of buyers have bid on all of this person's auctions to remove the BIN. All have bids, and most are over the original BIN prices.

John Poulos - 01 Mar 2006 16:09 GMT Ebay is screwed. I just reported maybe 100 more fake listing and a major new scam. I found a few listings where you click on the gallery pix and it takes you to a fake sign up page, scary.

Mark Anderson - 01 Mar 2006 17:17 GMT Yes, you're right--it's a MAJOR scam. I noticed they "ended" the auction on the GH, but it's still there, not removed. Also, they didn't bother to kill the rest of the auctions under that user that are obvious scams.
Ebay really has me worried. I always felt like eventually there would be this huge sucking sound and it would be Ebay. Once it becomes known for nothing but scams, it will drive away the user base (as if there fees are driving away the seller base). I saw an interview on TV where a cop said that if you have something stolen, you can probably find it being sold on Ebay. My father-in-law works for the railroad, and they had several large train whistles come up missing from the storage shop. Someone from the railroad found them being sold on Ebay, reported it to management, and suddenly they showed back up in the storage room.
Lots of stolen stuff there I think.

Lee Aanderud - 01 Mar 2006 18:32 GMT A guy my brother works with found his stolen pickup tailgate that way... went to pick it up with an undercover cop and the guy had a shed full of tailgates. He found the one he won, the guy helped him put it on his pickup, paint matched perfectly, he then stick his key in the lock and it turned. The seller was then escorted to the local jail.

The only thing wrong with it was the hard drive was password protected and had no AC adapter. Dropped in the HD off my beater lap top and it worked fine. I'd bet it was lifted from someone although Toshiba would not tell me who the registered owner was.

several years ago where I lived in Louisiana, theives broke in and stole $20,000 worth of musical and sound equipment.
the church had the model numbers, and serial numbers.... some clown had listed the whole mess, item for item on ebay..
sometimes the cops don't have to think too hard with dumb criminals out there
John Poulos - 01 Mar 2006 14:10 GMT I just called AGAIN (third time) This time they'll have my account manager and a Trust and Safety supervisor call me back and do some hell raising.

midlant@earthlink.net - 01 Mar 2006 19:28 GMT After the break-in at my dome during the Sacto IM, my Dad's binoculars showed up on eBay. (I assume that the seller was not the thief, as no one would have been so stupid as to mention that his name was on them in the ad.) I could get no help from eBay and I don't know if the PD even tried.
I got no satisfaction when a clock arrived broken and the Post Office pointed out dust in the break, saying it was broken before being shipped.

After over 50 good transactions I finally got stiffed, fortunately it was not a car but unfortunately it was a $200 carburetor. still waiting to see if paypal's buyer protection is as good as they claim. Only other time I was stiffed was on some memory chips that I never received; that was years ago and paypal made good on those right away because the guy's eBay account was suspended. In this case I think it will be more difficult because the seller has loads of positive feedback and apparently does sell lots of good parts, just made a mistake on my order and now won't make it right. It's been a week now since I made the claim and am still waiting to hear what if anything they're going to do.
I guess caveat emptor, especially right now when all the scam artists seem to be coming out of the woodwork.

if you get roked, the postal inspectors will look into it, and they have less humor than Lee A.
