Interesting story. Personally, I'm too scared to use EBay. I HATE being ripped off.

I have bought many things on EBAY. The only time I was ever scammed was when I bought something from a seller that had a user rating of 1 and posted 100 auctions at the same time. I have now learned my lesson. Do not buy anything of value from sellers that have less than a 50 user rating. The honest sellers have a reputation to protect and will make sure you get your items to avoid getting negative feedback.

I have never bought anything worth more than about $15 on e-bay. Hubby has done far more transactions than me, and only just the other day did he get ripped-off. The guy in story makes the guy who ripped off hubby look like a real piker, but some of the technique is the same. Buying things to create a positive rating for example.

This fellow, Nelson, seems a bit touched in the head as they say. I can't believe how blatenet he was, and how he just stone cold left his wife, and then remorselessly took up with the Disney employee in Florida. What an SOB. He'll be back, probably.

And the other poster is right, why didn't he just get a job? I like how he thought he was only stealing from pay-pal, like that makes it ok. Too many people think things like this, and it's despicable. They think it is ok to steal cable tv service, or do insurance fraud. It's ok to be a thief as long as your stealing from a "corporation".

I hope the Gideons drop by with a Bible for this fellow, he needs guidance.
