Hi All
Seems like Ebay is full of 'bargains' but many of them are either
crap or non-existant.
I can't understand why Ebay permits private listings by people with
no feedback. You can't even warn the buyers they're about to get
ripped off.
But I did report an auction for a mini-moog to Ebay today. Seller had
zero f/b, the photo and some of the text was cloned from a previous
auction, listing was private, and payment terms money order! Alarm
bells, or what!?
I didn't expect any action, so was surprised and chuffed when item
was no longer listed 2 hours later, so maybe I saved somebody from
being ripped off.
No way would I bid on a high value item. It just isn't worth the risk.
