Second to highest bidder sends money via western union to an international address because we're supposedly 'out of the country on business'

The only way we can stop this is by making our auctions private, but that usually makes people suspicious and less likely to bid. It really stinks.

Now I haven't heard of this one. And you are right, I won't bid on an auction where the bidders are kept private. We end up right back where we are scared there is shilling afoot.

All of them extremely low quality done by outrageously amateurish non high school graduates, who don't even know how to hide the source of their domain.

What really ticks me off, they don't even come in on the email I use for PayPal and eBay.
Yep thts true, those stupids dont even know how to scam thru an email and can't even hide their domains atleast
