Re: Your thoughts on this 52 Topps Mantle on Ebay
Some here and many others need to undestand that just because they haven't seen a particular scam style before, doesn't mean it can't happen, especially for this amount of money. Some scammers can get pretty clever at times especially for this amount of money. It's like an arms race out there with the scammers attempting… -
Re: New Person, Same Scam, eBay....maybe?
Something that should be understood, is once somebody falls for a scam such as this, it's usually not over. The person scammed is placed on a sort of "cream" mark list for scammers, and more scam attempts would be coming. Not just thru Ebay, but also postal mail, email, phone calls, etc. There's always a "fishing… -
Re: If you had an ad on BST, how would you decide to trade with a new member?
Personally, I would not do a trade unless it was in person. Otherwise, I think the quote above is the safest way to do a trade. For a small fee, all your doing is exchanging the same amount of money, and you get the paypal protection. I believe others have been scammed on trades here in the past. The honest person would… -

Re: Live.com Microsoft Cashback - Instant
<< <i> << <i>This instant thing is just screaming for scammers to sell stuff to friends who then reimburse them in cash. How are they averting that? >> Actually, there is a statement in the "rules" that states and cancelled or returned items using "instant" cashback will be charged back to the buyer's PayPal account. >>… -
Re: Would anyone be foolish enough to bid on this?
The term "must sell as reprint as per eBay policy" is total BS. It's a standard scammer's line to cover himself once his victim learns he's been screwed with his pants on. If the scammer is even using the same ID by that time. In fact, that line about reprints is a violation of eBay policy. I'm pleasantly surprised that…
