would you even consider......

buying from this seller??

linky-poo


scroll down to the payment details in the item description.



<< <i>3) If you pay with PayPal, I need copies of your passport/ID as well as from your credit card that you are using within PayPal (both sides). Please provide these documents as electronic scans ( or just send it to me by post to my adress in a letter ) . Articles will only be shipped after you have provided these documents. >>



umm, I wouldn't mind having this set, but I think I am going to pass on this one.

Curious, since PayPal offers seller protection, is this sort of request even within PayPal's ToS??

That's unreasonable in the extreme.

Not a chance I'm giving him my CC and the reverse with the security code, using PP you don't have to do that.

An old source and trading partner of mine, Frank Robinson in Albany NY, usually
has this sort of stuff and always cuts a very fair deal. From a recent list:

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Helvetica"><B>SLOVENIA</B></SPAN>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Helvetica"><B>9-PC TYPE SET, 10-20-50ST +1-2-5-10-20-50T TOLAR BU (CAT $19) 4.65, 3/11.95, 10/36.50, 30/$95*

You can reach Frank via his website: fsrcoin.com

I wonder how badly the listing I just pasted in is going to show once I hit the "reply" button.

Best to all ~

Can you say Identity Theft?

Scroll down to the bottom of the listing, click the link Report This Item, and tell ebay this is a potential phishing attempt. At the very least, it puts the winning bidder in extreme danger of identity theft.

I doubt ebay will take action, but if enough people report the listing, they just might do the right thing... for a change.

NO, is my answer to your question. Click the red X and leave post haste...

How do these guys get such high ebay ratings with policies such as this??

I believe it is against US law to photocopy a US Passport.

JamminJ

I think he's just trying to get payment in a non paypal fashion.

ccrdragon

not even with YOUR passport and CC, kuhli!

Considering that most people will not leave Negative feedback. I would NEVER buy from anybody with a 98.9% rating that has more than a 1000 feedback.

Not really, if you are using it as a backup when you go overseas. I have done it when I have travelled to Third World countries.

I had a student born in Japan who has a Japanese mother and American father. He looks more Asian than caucasian. I took my 8th grade class to Canada on a field trip. When we came back into the US over the Lewiston, NY bridge the immigration officer was not happy that this student photocopied his passport ad ID. We were told it is illegal to photcopy a US passport or birth certificate. Many, many people do it, but that doesn't make it legal. At least this is what we were told by the immigration officer.

Now I just scan my passport page and email it as an attachment when necessary.


Having a photocopy of the passport page can be extremely handy when travelling. I had my passport stolen several years ago in Brussels (it was in my laptop case which was ripped off my shoulder as I was getting on a commuter train). Having the photocopy available made getting a replacement passport a breeze at the US Embassy.



I was carrying my passport because it was needed to get into my company office (located on the NATO grounds) as well as around the security in the airport as part of my job. I normally would not recommend that travellers carry their passports around with them in their day to day activities.

David, I agree. Having a copy of your passport with you is very handy. I used to copy mine, and the visas, when I lived in Thailand.
