It happens on ePay
That is why the e-mail lists are the best places to trade.
The free online classifieds are not bad too.


I've done hundreds of transactions on ebay, dozens on the newsgroups,
the only place I've been ripped off (twice) is on the newsgroups. No
feedback, no bidder history, no registered user information, you are
truly taking a huge risk doing a deal on the newsgroup or online list.
I'm not willing to lose money that easily.


This same SX-88 has been resold at least twice by crooks who have hijacked
others accounts. Ebay isn't safe, either. Caveat emptor.
