Wrong. But, I'd rather you read the 'Trust and Safety' board to see this.
Offtimes this goes on a LOT longer than two screws. ::grin:: Believe me.
That's one of the reasons we exist on the volunteer side...to monitor just
that type of activity. Ebay CAN be a safe place to trade. Unfortunately,
that's not always the case. The biggest problem is the sheer size of eBay,
and the fact that they cannot always police themselves due to that.

I'd say that e-bay is fairly safe... if ya scr*w your
buyers and you get more then 2 bad reports... E-Bay
will ban you from their site... so it's a sort of a
checks & balance, self controlling program...

I got my Virago on an ebay auction last November. Actually I did
everything wrong -- bought a bike from a brand new seller with zero
feedback, no photos of the bike, minimal information on the description.
But I paid $2000, plus shipping and tiedowns and soforth, and ended up
with Jenny. She'd been in storage sevaeral months and needed a carb
cleaning and new battery, so all in all I paid around $2600 for her, a
1995 Virago with 66,700 miles, a Mustang touring seat, and slash-cut
Jardines. I figure I got a great deal!
