The recent thread about the bogus 1807 Half and "scumnuker" got me thinking

All forum members should do what scumnuker does. We could really clean up the ebay coin market! If everyone makes alt accounts on ebay and bids ultra high on bogus crap, then we could really make a difference.

    Better yet, the ANA should take a leadership role, and get these bad sellers and sellers of the obviously fake coins, banned from eBay!

    Doing so is against eBay policy and could result in your account being the one that gets banned.

    Anyone choosing to do so should seriously consider Tor Onion Router in order to prevent the Ebay bots from tracking, linking, and NARUing IP addresses associated with alt ebay accounts and their linked information.

    I agree in principle, but the downside is cancellation of all of your Ebay accounts.

    I barely have time to look for good coins, let alone spend time hunting down crappy ones...

    It's a nice romantic notion, particularly in light of how frustrating all the fraud and near-fraud is on eBay. But, the idea is frought with peril. eBay can, and does, nuke good guy accounts for this type of action, and not just the account used. They have very effective tracking in place. Frankly, I'm surprised scumnuker has survived as long as he has.

    I've done it with my account, it's kind of nerve wracking waiting for either the negative from the seller or the NARU notice from Ebay. It also feels useless to get rid of 3 scammers just to have 10 more show up in their place. I admit it, I gave up.

    Negs don't get buyers nuked, only NPB's do.
