Never ever use western union. either use paypal, escrow or your visa card as visa can refund your money and will.
he hijacked a ligit ebay account and is posing as that ebayerQuote:
As for the countrycrock dude...the guy selling season tickets for EVERY team somehow in Row 1 for $1000...how does he have 100% feedback???? I dont get it...over 500+ transactions and not one negative.
I completely believe the guy is a fraud but is this some ghost ebay acount where he/she has built up their acount SPECIFICALLY for football season so they can clean up on fraudalent transactions? It just doesnt make sense to pull this fraudelent stunt of selling cheap but Great seats to every game from an acount that is so reputable?!
You can tell that if a seller wants to complete transaction by using Western Union, that's bogus.
eBay has never recommended any buyer to use that type of payment. In fact, eBay always tells buyers to avoid WU. Simple.
Be aware.
makes sense i guess...but how in the HELL did he manage to do that furthermore...how is this still going on? Wouldnt the original ebay acount holder realize this and report it? Gzus is this a common problem on ebay? Makes me never want to buy anything.Quote:

I don't know how else he could gain control of four different accounts in two days, as he has the past two days. Typically, his listings only last a day -- before the owner of the account realizes something is wrong. In the great scheme of things, it's not terribly common, but with this guy, he's been doing this several times a week for at least a year. He keeps doing it because he is successful at it. He's apparently making a decent living.Quote:

Don't miss this one! WOO HOO!

The fine print: "No refunds will be given if you made a mistake bidding or reading the ad..."
WOW!

Thanks.
Check this auction out:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...5871%26fvi%3D1
He's selling season tickets for seats at FedExField in section 201, row 12. But there IS no row 12 in section 201. The press level is behind row 6. Just an honest mistake? No. Why is it only a one day auction? Check his feedback. 100% feedback, no worries, right? But the 7 feedbacks are from sellers, not buyers. His maximum purchase: $5.50, over his entire ebay career. All feedbacks within the past six days. No paypal guarantee with this seller, either.
This account and this auction were set-up solely for the purpose of FRAUD.
All these seats have either a limited or obstructed view. All these sellers would prefer you not to know:

This guy's a riot! He says "I have set a reasonable price." His reasonable price for opening bid is up to TEN TIMES FACE VALUE:Quote:
