Excellent Ebay fraud article.


As there has been much discussion of late of scams and fraud on Ebay, I direct you all to an excellent article in the Business section of today's (5/11/03), Washington Post. It should be available online at www.washingtonpost.com.

Thanks for the link Jond.

I was recently e-jacked for a bootleg Pink Floyd Pulse DVD on ebay. I asked if the item was authentic prior to bidding. The seller assured me it was officially licensed goods. Like a sucker I believed him...actually it was a she. I did a Square Trade mediation to no avail. So I now have to take further steps. I'll go to small claims court if necessary.

People that lie to get money from people makes me sick. I kinda expected an experience like this on Ebay. But the dollar amount was low so I gave it a shot. I much prefer to limit my audio and ht purchases to here on the 'gon where there seems to be more mutual respect for each other.

Peace.
Jond, thanks, this article is indeed excellent . Thanks for pointing it out. The exact address is here:
