You were also alot nicer to the guy than I would have been.
Title: Re: My First Ebay Scammer Post by: Pat Pixley on September 08, 2007, 10:07:27 pm sofar All I asked was do you know this is for pick up only!!
and asked how he planned on doing this ? I'm just waiting for Ebay to see what they say so I can relist it Then I will go let that fool have it. :veryangry: But till then going to keep a cool head on this. Pat :glare: Title: Re: My First Ebay Scammer Post by: SIGNGUY on September 08, 2007, 10:18:31 pm I've had these alot on my craigslist postings, but never on an ebay BIN ... that sucks... cause it takes your item off the market and you get zapped with end of auction fees, (Which I'm sure ebay will refund, but what a hassle...) wonder how they will combat this one?
Title: Re: My First Ebay Scammer Post by: halehouse on September 08, 2007, 10:31:21 pm Oh yea. The "I am sending you the cashier check and you send me back the extra funds" is a big danger flag. Why would anyone think that someone is sending them extra $ so that you can send the extra back to them? Plus, for being from the UK, his use of the English language is pretty poor.
Title: Re: My First Ebay Scammer Post by: sodaworks on September 08, 2007, 11:37:20 pm These guy's really p$^ss me off. Everyone of my Craigslist ads I get several of these. Tell him that shipping will be a million bucks and see if he will send you a M.O. for that much. If so frame it and hang it on the wall. That's pretty much all it will be good for.
Title: Re: My First Ebay Scammer Post by: collecture on September 08, 2007, 11:38:29 pm Just never send the cash back!
Title: Re: My First Ebay Scammer Post by: Sodak Bob on September 09, 2007, 07:48:26 am I can't believe that anyone would fall for that - the word has been out for some time... I agree with Terry, get the idiot to send you one heck of a check, and hang it on the trophy room wall........
Title: Re: My First Ebay Scammer Post by: MoonDawg on September 09, 2007, 10:43:49 am Most of these scammers have only been a member for a few days just like this idiot! They do their thing then move on to a new user name.
When you communicate with e-bay, can you suggest requiring members to have a feedback before they can use B.I.N.? Title: Re: My First Ebay Scammer Post by: Pat Pixley on September 09, 2007, 10:42:22 pm Well it is sunday I heard from Ebay they checked into this person
and he closed up camp, So I was able to relist without any charges :smile: So my 7Up Slider is back up on the ebay board . Know I can't even blast this guy :censored: Well one day he will get whats coming to him. Thanks Guy and Gals for the help Pat Title: Re: My First Ebay Scammer Post by: MoonDawg on September 10, 2007, 10:27:04 am I know a guy who actually recieved a money order in the mail from overseas.
He took it to the bank and verified that it really was counterfiet. Title: Re: My First Ebay Scammer Post by: sodaworks on September 10, 2007, 10:41:09 am That could have been me! Long time members here may recall that I recieved a 6500.00 M.O. from one of these knuckleheads when the scams first started. Everything just seemed too fishy about the transaction and even my bank manager tried to tell me that the check was good. I begged her to call the bank on which the funds were drawn on and only then it was varified that it was a bogus check.
