We are selling one of our Cruiser on Ebay. I have bought and sold stuff on Ebay before, and I even had my account jacked by some imbesile who listed a four wheeler on my account......with a snow plow attatched. Yeah, snow plows come in real handy in Florida.

So anyways, we are selling this truck and almost immediatly I started getting weird emails from ebay accounts with zero feedback, accompanied by emails from Ebay about those first emails. I don't know why these guys have to try to rip me off when all I want to do is sell a freaking truck. I would just love to get my hands on these scammers! Last sommer a freind of mine got taken for $12000 when he tried to sell his F-150 on eBay. Now, I am NOT gonna fall for one their tricks, and I have taken the time to educate myself on what to watch out for, but is really annoying that there seems to be so little accountability for the thieves that operate these scams.

Wait the best is yet to come!! Ebay will berate you and shower you with alerts when you report scammers. Ebay is in the toilet and of course they tend to blame everyone else. They have the technology to prevent the garbage but will not do anything.

Good luck with your sale!

That's why it's called Shipping & Handling.....

There are No Rules saying you can't add a Handling Charge for Your services to get the thing Packaged,+ To the Shipper......

Most auctions have the S&H either listed or otherwise available for You to decide if you Wish to pay it......

If S&H Isn't Listed or available,.........
Don't Bid,......... It's Still Your Choice....... No Scam there.......

The Scams Soulwinner is talking about is Much Different,+ is Truly a Scam.......
