b. As a seller, surprise, we see only those fancy cameras and all auctions were completed in the same day. This is quite typical for scammers to do a quick and fast job.

Yes, I know it takes time and effort but it seems that only with our help eBay can stop this.
We should help eBay and other members from falling into this trap.
Mr. Matt Halprin, manager of Global Trust and Safety Policy team at eBay said in his letter from Oct.11, 2006 :
"All of us at eBay are committed to preserving the safety of our marketplace and rely on you, the community, to help in this regard. As the Internet has evolved and grown so have the trading opportunities for all of us. Unfortunately, this success has also attracted a number of bad players who prey on unsuspecting Internet users. We don't want that to happen to you."
