The methodology is not totally clear.

It involves PayPal refunds. Scamster using stolen credit cards is
somehow getting PP to refund cash to PayPal accounts.

He has filed THOUSANDS of INRs. Has had numerous IDs.

This round of THOUSANDS was done in about ONE MONTH.

Read the May 20 and before FB.

google is alive with the story.

    The story starts to unfold at about page 12 of the FB.

    An outfit known as Nebraska Books appears to have been running
    a "book store," using the inventory of sellers on AMZN and EBAY.

    Looks like THOUSANDS of PayPal INRs were filed against sellers
    who shipped media mail, WITHOUT Delivery Confirmation. The
    scamster then sold the expensive textbooks, and ordered more
    books to sell.

    A big industry. If he can juggle a deal like that, he could make alot
    of money in a legit business.

    Hmmm, I'm in college textbook publishing and I know of Nebraska Books. I need to look at this a little more closely.

    I know it's off-topic but that ebayer has received 4000+ feedback and not given any at all. Kind of weird.

    I'm not following it.

    Page 12 just shows a bunch of feedback from Nebraskabooks.

    Can someone post the google story?

    A lot of threads talking about a buyer on ebay, and the scam they are running have been disappearing. Forum mods are deleting them to avoid liability. There were a couple good threads on amazon.

    Rumor has it that somebody has several ebay accounts, they are buying books for inventory and then doing paypal chargebacks saying they aren't getting their items. They're also cancelling orders immediately after paying - running up charges on stolen credit cards and then getting refunds to the paypal account. Since ebay doesn't allow negatives any more it's hard to see the bad deals, you have to search thru the feedback.

    That's all I caught from reading last nite before the threads disappeared. I'm sure there's more I didn't see.

    Anyone want to go to the next card show with me? Ebay and the rest of the internet is becoming a cesspool.

    Buyers getting ripped-off is bad press.

    Sellers getting ripped-off is Robin Hood.

    That's why Ebay changed it all around.
