Regarding eBay scams. Ebay is like a big store. If they don't want to invest time and money for their customers safety why should you or I spend our time to police their site? To protect a stranger from a scam? Ebay has spent billions buying this are that, raising rates to sellers and we wonder how to help them when they don't seem to be very interested!!!! If more and more scam artist used this relatively un-policed site prices should drop. Remember what eBay's cheer is, Caveat Emptor. I think a $$ reward for reporting scams that can be substantiated would do the trick. Just for fun, oldcranky
