Ebay fraud

Anyone else read the article about fraud on Ebay? www.timesonline.co.uk

I thought there was some shill bidding going on before I read this. So as always....BUYER BEWARE.

OH NO NOT EFTIS!!! http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...570050,00.html

If he wasn't up and up on the bidding, maybe, those one off perfect condition viking swords weren't on the up and up !

We all knew this was happening ; at least now the bright light of publicity has been shone upon it .

I SUSPECT THAT THIS IS JUST THE 'TIP OF THE ICEBERG', Perhaps after further independent investigation the TITANIC eBay may have to 'protect' the buyers or risk 'taking in water' and 'LISTING'.....

Well, it explains a lot to me.....well.....no.....just confirms.

If eBay and the British judicial system do what they should, I will miss those almost perfect, unpublished viking swords

, until the next Eftis appears (and it won't be long).
While this confirms what we already know - that eBay is full of crooks, I personally do not find it so shocking. We go to eBay in order to get bargains, assuming plenty of risk - it is part of the deal. And, I do not think people ever bid higher than the maximum they are prepared to pay for an item, and if this maximum is reached, they are usually still happy.
