Ridiculous scam?

[dilney]

Look at this (French eBay)...

I have no doubdt it's a scam, but what really pisses me off is that there are hundreds of auctions like these, and it make it really boring to browse through ebay.

heh .. i totally understand whacha mean man ..

When i was first time bidding on ebay, it was a lonestar for about 500 bucks or somewhere there. Its kindda hard to believe, however ebay was fast enough to catch up with the bogus seller and cut off all his ads

I am not an ebay user but surely there's something that can be done against these ba$tards?!? Nan ? Espacially when they are doing it on several items.

Take a look at the shipping prices...

It's not a scam. If you're too dumb to read the shipping costs before you bid, you deserve what you get.

Cheeze-ball, yes. Scam, no.

Re: Ridiculous scam?

I don't believe that the seller doesn't even give the model of the guitar and many of the auctions talk about ancient chinese craft...

Don't know how they get positive feedback however.

Re: Ridiculous scam?

Ebay charges a commission on the sale price. Ebay does not charge a commission on the shipping cost. Hence, millions of acutions for goods at cut-rate prices and inflated shipping.
