<p>[quote user="Pathfinder"]Just to be clear, nowhere did I say not to use e-bay.<br /><br />This is just a friendly reminder that things can go wrong and that e-bay may not help you (or the police) out. And with over 1,000 Canadians reporting similar frauds, it is more than just a one time thing. As I noted, buyer beware.<br /><br />And yes, buying something like a car on e-bay and then wiring the money to them without seeing the car is somewhat naive.<br /><br /><br />And thanks for the insightful post David B. I hope this fellow in Calgary is not a neighbor of yours. If it is another useless thread, then why bother wasting your time responding?[/quote] </p><p> </p><p>Well you should also warn everyone about the </p><p>causes of Smoking</p><p>Buying a car at a dealership</p><p>renting apartments</p><p>etc etc the list goes on and on. What do any of them have to do with model railroading though? Nothing. I use ebay to make purchases and I love Ebay. I guess I better beware of those outrageous $75 scams on model train items too?</p>
