Ebay Knows of these scams and should do more to stop them since these criminals are using ebay as the "vehicle" for some big money rip-offs. Do not bid on auctions that have "Pre Approved Bidders Only". These are usually overseas auctions that offer free shipping and a to good to be true buy it now price. The victim emails seller to make a deal...seller tells buyer to send good faith down payment via western union under some oddball name that the buyer can make up...seller sends item...you receive item and send balance to seller under correct name. Too late cause your down payment is long gone because western union in foreign countries do not check for identification when picking up money.

I contacted them 4 times about this SCAM and they REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING!!!!
WTF IS WRONG W/E-BAY?!!!!
I contacted them too, did the live chat thing and also sent them an email to Safe harbor. They said they would look into it within 24 hours, by that time, the auction will be over.
