Default Re: Another ebay scam?

This is definitely a scam. It is someone (scam artist) who is using someone else's (legitimate ebayer) identity to post the auction. I once had someone who tried to sell a motorcycle under my ID. I found out when a bidder sent in a question. It usually works so the winning bidder will make the payment (usually cash or money order only, no paypal). Where the scammer will collect his money and the legitimate ebayer will get stuck with the case. Stay away from too good to be true auctions.
