ebay -- way too conducive to scammers?

David,

I think that you have to look at everything on a case by case basis. I have been on ebay since June of '98 and have a feedback number of 268 (100%). Until here recently, I never accepted paypal, only cash, checks and money orders. Then ebay cracked down on asking for cash, so I finally broke down and started accepting paypal and I like it so far. I'd hate to have you not bid on my auctions because I took money orders. Now I wonder how many bidders I lost over the years because I didnt use Paypal.

Jim,

I agree it would depend on the feedback (both volume and quality).

Let me clarify, if a seller has 100+ positive feedbacks and only takes MO or checks I would bid.

I won't be a pioneer with new sellers.

I just got scammed for the 2nd time on Ebay with game used bats.

I sent my money and NEVER got anything in return. The latest one was nice enough to leave positive feedback however.

I think we should call the dirtbags out by name!

Here is my latest: Jeff Perro in Antioch, TN (burb of Nashville.)
His ebay ID is jgperro.

He just scammed another guy out of 2 bats and won't respond to him either.

We are both filing police reports this week.

"Perro" in Spanish is "dog"

How fitting !
