ebay gimmick

i just wanted to warn you guys if you get a secound chance notice on ebay make sure the guy emailing u is the seller. the last 3 quads i bid on this happened and they somehow go though ebay and make it look legit my second chance notices accually come from ebay when the fake sellers send them but if you contact the seller he knows nothing about this as the quad is already sold 2 the high bidder and the bogus guys are trying 2 sell you absolutly nothing .ebay can be great but you have 2 be carefull of these imposters i would hate 2 see someone enter 1 of these transactions

Damn that sucks. I get emails all the time looking like it is from ebay saying my account has been accessed from a foreign country and to log in to change my password immediatly.

there are a lot of scams with ebay and you just have to be really carefull, just like you have to be careful buying anything over the internet even on E2S. What sucks is ebay does nothing to put a stop to this kind of activity

hah I think if somebody wanted to do the scam where I mailed them the money back id just take it and keep it see what happens when I tried to cash it then play dumb.

If you start reading into the emails that are sent back and forth with them it's amazing what some of these people get them to do. They make total asses out of them and they don't even know it.
