I HAVE SEEN ANOTHER NEW WRINKLE IN THE BIKE AND TRIKE SCAM SAGA! NOW THEY ARE PUTTING BIKES ON WITH A BUY IT NOW PRICE THAT IS JUST HIGH ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU THINK "well maybe" BUT IN ORDER TO BID, YOU HAVE TO BE APPROVED SUPPOSEDLY, YOU HIT "BUY IT NOW" AND THEN COMMIT TO BID, AND INSTEAD OF IT SENDING YOU TO PAYPAL, AN E-MAIL ADDRESS COMES UP, YOU CONTACT THE GUY AND HE GIVE YOU THIS SCHPEEL THAT HE NEEDS YOU NAME AND E-BAY ID AND THE BIKE IS IN HIS WAREHOUSE IN TIM BUCK TOO, AND E-BAY IS INVOLVED AND KNOWS ALL ABOUT IT, YAH DAH YAH DAH YAH DAH!!!................E-BAY NEVER EVER EVER EVER IS INVOLVED WITH ANYTHING OUTSIDE THE LISTING, IF SOMEONE TELLS YOU THAT IT IS MAJOR "BULL"............JUST MOVE ON TO A LEGITATMATE SELLER WITH A TRACK RECORD, MOST OF THIS TYPE SCAM IS DONE EITHER BY TAKING OVER AN ACCOUNT WITH A WEEK PASSWORD, OR THEY JUST SIGNED UP!!! THEY ARE GETTING BETTER AND BETTER AT IT, BUT NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER SEND MONEY UNLESS IT IS THRU PAYPAL BECAUSE HE WILL HAVE TO HAVE A LEGITIMATE ACCOUNT SET UP, AND YOU ARE PROTECTED AGAINST FRAUD!! THIS ONE BOZO REFUSED TO LET ME FLY IN TO PICK UP THE BIKE WITH CASH IN HAND!!! NO NO NO, IT HAS TO GO THRU MY SHIPPER!! HELLO!!!!! THE FIRST THING THAT TELLS YOU IS: HE AIN'T GOT THE BIKE!!! I WOULD NEVER EVER TURN DOWN A BUYER WHO WANTED TO BRING ME A BAG FULL OF GREEN BACKS!!! I WOULD LIKE TO SEE E-BAY COME UP WITH A SYSTEM FOR LARGE TICKET ITEMS WHERE YOU WOULD HAVE TO SIGN IN AGAIN WITH A DIFFERENT AND STRONG PASSWORD TO BE ABLE TO LIST BIG TICKET ITEMS ON E-BAY MOTORS! THAT WAY, EVEY IF THEY MANAGE TO HACK IN TO SOMEONES ACCOUNT THEY WILL HAVE TO BREAK ANOTHER PASSWORD THAT IS MUCH STRONGER TO EVEN LIST A CAR OR BIKE OR TRIKE, I BELIEVE THIS WOULD CUT DOWN ON A GOOD PERCENT OF THESE SCAMMERS!! I HOPE E-BAY IS LISTENING!!! I REPORTED 43 SCAMS THE OTHER DAY!!! IT GETS TIME CONSUMING! AND REMEMBER, if it looks too good to be true!! you know darn well it is!!!
