- eBay is ripe with scams lately.

- I completely agree with what the post is saying. My own experience with eBay lately has shown that they don't take a active interest in preventing the huge number of scams that pervade the site on a daily basis. Don't believe me? Try this, log into eBay, do a search on laptops, click on the laptop category and then filter the results by completed listings and limit the price range from $4000-$20,000. All scams. If you want a really good read on what this is all about check out my story.
