I was reading the article on the bow scams and thought I would share my experience.  I was bidding on a bow and was outbid at the last minute. I recieved a second chance offer from the seller only to find out that the seller's ebay account was frozen. Anyhow, they wanted me to send the payment Western Union to ITALY!!!! The bow was supposed to be shipped from Michigan! So beware!! Do not pay for anything you buy without going through PAY_PAL!!!!!! I am jus treally glad I talked my husband out of this bow! Otherwise we would be out around $350.00
