I figure, he has around 300 neg feedbacks in the month of december...
Each with around 300$ orders, My estimation is he pulled down around 90,000$ in under a month. Not bad at all. I figure it this way, He got paid around the same week by every one, He cancelled his account, killed all his email accounts, Probly had the cash directed to false accounts and such. I imagine he'll get away clean. Genious. Cept' for the fact, I bet he gets greedy, tries the scam again, and gets nailed. |

They were fine up until Xmas time. If you use eBay then you'd understand that normal turnaround is about 2 weeks.

The problem is that these idiots (the buyers) paid in personal check, or worse yet cashier's check. NEVER EVER buy anything on Ebay of any real value unless you can pay with a credit card. Not even PayPal from your bank account is that safe (PayPal usually limits fraud recovery to $200). I have been ripped off a couple of times now, and it hasn't cost a dime. Some aggravation, but a call to my credit card company gets me my money back. Any seller that is asking for cashier's checks for expensive items might as well stick a giant "eye r a cruk" sign up. While this is obviously illegal and the idiot will get caught, my sympathy with the buyers is limited. (BTW, auto theft is generally not a federal crime, so the FBI wouldn't care) |

^Exactly.....the people who were being ripped off were still waiting for their stuff, so they hadn't left the negative feedback yet, hoping they would still receive the products. The thing I tripped out on is the dude's feedback was still like more than 80% positive......I think the math is messed up on E-Bay, because it didn't seem to add up....like his rating should have been much lower positives. ------------- "People who see the future earlier than others are always feared and misunderstood." - Jose Canseco |

Actually he has only recieved 105 feedback in the past month. At
an average of $400 an item (I'm being very generous here) he only got
$42,000. Unless I'm missing something. Anarchyguy - I know some people have already said it is not a federal matter, but think of it this way: There are very many cars stolen every single day. Do you realize how much resources it would take for the FBI to try and solve every one of those crimes. It is just unrealistic. Edit to add** There are a quite a few people who left their phone numbers on there. That would be awesome to prank call some of them with regards to this. |
