atticguy Pillar of the Community United States 1373 Posts	Posted 01/27/2014 12:02 am Its good to know that some of those rats get caught every so often. I'm not sure from the story if restitution will be given to any sellers along with the doofus's jail time, but I'm hoping they can. Hopefully any coins found at the guy's house can be traced back to the seller(s) and returned. Report this Post to the Staff

Duncan_Doenitz Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 01/27/2014 02:33 am Often when delivery can't be proved, eBay/PayPal will just stiff the seller, who loses the merchandise. There is nothing in that article to indicate that ebay or PayPal took the initiative to go after this guy, which is surprising but not new, unfortunately. Years ago, ebay had a spot on their web site where they bragged about their Top Ten cases involving fraud on ebay. A careful reading of all ten reports showed that in NONE of their top ten, their own best shining examples, did ebay take any preemptive action on their own to go after the scammers. Turns out all they actually did was whatever they were required to do by law enforcement officials who were investigating and prosecuting the cases. As long as ebay thinks that getting kicked off ebay is punishment enough, these scams will continue. The crooks get a taste of the easy money and keep coming back. I'm just saying...

Fixguy Pillar of the Community Canada 532 Posts	Posted 01/28/2014 7:31 pm Of all of my purchases there has been only 4 no show's and all from China. EVERY item ordered on E bay from North America have showed up. I've even re-paid for an item that was refunded and then showed up. Some people just see a chance at a quick buck and try and capitalize on it. Sad for the little guy trying to make a living. Report this Post to the Staff
