Would you believe the crook just had to refund the money and already had another auction going for the same thing?? I reported it and ebay actually (for once) took the item off.
Yes I would. I've seen it many times over the years, unfortunately. It always tends to be with newer tech stuff or counterfeit merchandise mostly. At least that is what I've always noticed. It's great that you have our friends back covered π Someone like that should be banned instantly instead of the 3 strikes your out system but there are so many ways around it for those ......'s!
I remember listing (or trying to list) a very large group of very high end men's cufflinks (contemporary) that I had the good fortune of finding for next to nothing. Apparently, these types of cufflinks were a high end brand that was very protected by the maker and my first auctions were taken down instantly with no chance on my part to prove their authenticity. I fought it with ebay and won but still was only allowed to put 10 auctions at a time on. I felt it was like Apple coming down with a sledge hammer to those people trying to sell counterfeit products claiming to be genuine Apple. That sort of thing wrecked ebay for so many users....really a shame as it is/was such a fantastic method of marketing for the little guy.
I was so angry because of those people that do stuff like that on ebay and cast a shadow on honest sellers of which I like to think I'm one. I rarely do any selling on ebay any longer due to the economy being so weak that has fairly destroyed most sales for me. People here just can not compete with all the cheap foreign goods flooding the market. I really don't know what is going to happen in the end. I worry about the new generation and what they will face in the future in this country π
Now that I have turned this conversation from "log in glitch" to world economic woes that will be enough of my rambling...... π
