Stuff like this gives us all (who sell legitimately on Ebay) black eye.

ie - current listings on my wife's Ebay account.

You should always look for feedback scores and number of positive feedback responses.

But even then, sometimes crap like this pops up.

At least if its a scam, Ebay and Paypal buyer protection will cover the buyer against fraud.

Now this little beauty is tempting me too:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-COMMODORE-PET-Model-2001-VERY-RARE-/180829987818?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D6661202060719658026

What scares me (although I remember lusting after these when they were new) is that line at the bottom of the listing.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...
 
IT IS BACK! The A4000T that will never go away. Oops! It just disappeared!
 
Same ad: Ultimate Tower, ya de ya, "Don't bid, call or email me first"
 
Keep watching that monitor folks! He's sure to return.

I keep reporting this and it keeps popping up in further listings.
 
Considering that I keep my Ebay listings on the up and up, this pisses me off.
