I don't know if this made the national news, so you guys might not have heard about it.

In the past month there has been 2 major Ebay fraud busts in Mishawaka, a town of only 45K. Makes you wonder how much of this is going on right now. One guy was selling expensive music recording equipment to people as far away as Sweden. The other clown robbed a photographer, the photographer went on Ebay to see how much the equipment would cost to replace and found his stuff.

Boy is eBay going to be upset. They just lost a major seller. I'm sure this goes on a lot more then people think. Unless you make something or can get it at wholesale, how else are you going to make any $$$ selling on eBay? Why steal it, of coarse.

The guy was selling hot items for pennies on the dollar and had people handling the shipping and paperwork. Probably had 1000+ positive feedback and you're dealing with crook. Go figure.

As a state criminal investigtor who receives all complaints for my state, I can can tell you that auction fraud is by far the number one fraud on the Internet. Please, be careful when bidding/buying. Steve
