Examples of actions that are not allowed on ebay:

Bidding on your own item or having family members, roommates, or employees bid on your item (this is called shill bidding). Read about our shill bidding policy.

Interfering with another member's transaction. For information and examples, see our transaction interference policy.

Accepting payment and sending an item that is significantly different from the item described in the item listing. For more details, read our seller performance policy.

Refusing to accept a buyer's PayPal payment using a credit card when the seller included the PayPal logo in the listing. For more info, see the PayPal payments policy.

Charging buyers an additional fee for their use of ordinary forms of payment including acceptance of checks, money orders, electronic transfers or credit cards. For policy and examples, read our payment surcharges policy.

When something goes wrong, including problems with a buyer, there are options available to you (find out more about resolving selling problems).


Although, technically you are not a buyer yet. This guy is doing everything he can to get out of paying final value fees. I think ebay needs to keep an eye on this guy. All his big money auctions are pay on pickup. He even lists his phone number in the auction so people can call him and make other arrangements if they can't pick up the item. NO Paypal makes it harder for ebay to prove that he sold the item.

maybe IRS agents should be interested in this guy and set up a buy sting.
it is obvious he does not want the feds to know about the 60K..
maybe I am wrong, but I believe such a transaction, when you withdraw cash, has to be reported to the IRS?

7ft and 250 is actually kind of scrawny. I'm 6'4" 280 and can lift a 150 pound table over my head with one arm.( had to do that getting ready for the holidays) when I was 250 I was not as strong... when you add 8 more inches of height (with that comes more blood, bone, soft tissue, et cetera) you lose strength. It would basically be me at 182 lbs...I looked sickly. The only thing that you need to worry about from those dimensions is his reach, but he will be slower.

Wait, he wants to sell a $60,000 coin, but will not ship it because shipping costs too much? How stupid is this guy?

He told me we could go to an ATM to take out the money. Don't know about you guys but I have a pretty low limit on ATM withdrawals per day.

The ATM part would be kind of creepy... has anyone ever exchanged that much in that fashion? Geez.

ATM limits are usually $2-400, nevermind the fact that an ATM does not even hold $60,000...

Yeah, that's a tad stupid to think someone can withdraw that from an ATM. I used to fill them and the ones I filled certainly didn't hold that much (although I don't recall how much it was).

Guy at the bank said their ATM does not hold much more then about $10k, but perhaps different machines can hold different amounts.

This has got to be the most bizarre ebay posting I've ever seen. I hope someone can follow up on it and post what finally happens - IRS agents waiting in the bushes, a shootout, coretj throwing this clown over a semi ... whatever. I'd love to be a little birdie with a camera when this goes down ...

I suspect this person is not playing with a full deck (or Dansco) and has a few bats in the belfry. This free entertainment has outlasted the New Year's Twilight Zone marathon. If I emailed Spielberg with this story, would he be willing to make a movie?
