    Reported!!

    I'm sure eBay will appreciate this in his listing:



    << <i>One last VERY IMPORTANT information: I will REMOVE my eBay account within the next 4-6 hours - that way I can
    remove the posting fee + eBay's Seller fee (about US$220); thus you do not have to worry about why my account
    becomes suspended or blocked. Instead the winner will not pay for shipping fees.

    Quick Quick Quick Cheque or Moneyorder Payment with the Tracking Number Please!

    << <i>What was he selling? >>



    It was a platinum coin with a starting bid over $800-. The listing disappeared from my watch list after the item was pulled.

    Wow, that was fast. Didn't know eBay could move that fast - I'm impressed.

    Coin Posse 1 - Crooks 0



    For those that missed the listing :

    Seller from Canada was offering a 1 oz Platinum Proof Eagle - either an '05 or '04 - ( I can't remember )

    Opening bid was around $800 - $900

    Listing was a 3 day auction

    seller had 0 feedbacks

    Wanted quick payment by major money order or wire

    seller wanted tracking number if money sent by mail

    seller claimed within a short time after auction ended they were going to end their registration with eBay to avoid paying listing and transaction fees

    Claimed they would pick up shipping fees if buyer would play along with this obvious scam


    Is it my imagination or are there a large number of Platinum related scams going on with eBay lately?

    Man, eBay sure jumps on them quick when the scammer says something about them not getting their fees.
