Stoopid E-bayers...

[passat TS]

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

This is ridiculous!!!

I also sent an email to Ebay, but I have not received an answer yet.

The only thing that might justify her answer, is that without evidence this
con artist
can end up throwing a law suit against Ebay, and judging by the whole scheme
engineering, I would not be surprised.

However, a simple probe could resolve the issue. One could pretend that wan=
ts
to
buy a large quantity of one the items, and trap this guy by his greed with
mail fraud.

I really feel for the poor people that have bids posted.

I hope Ebay do  something.

Carlos.
