I owe you one Anthony, I was going to take a chance and put a snipe on a couple of his cards. This thread probably saved me some aggravation. Next time we are in a bar together, the drinks are on me!
Lovely Day...

I noticed this yesterday
Yep,
Noticed this yesterday and posted a thread asking what to look for when purchasing raw t206's. I have two friends who work for ebay I believe in San Jose, and specialize in customer service. They told me that fraud has been running rampant lately and possibly as Ladder7 stated it is because of the new interface. Caveat Emptor to all you guys buying right now. Be careful and consult board members if you have any hesitation. Ebay really does lose money if they remove this guys listings, look at what all these cards ended for??? wow. Anyways, as the economy continues to stumble, there will be more people who will take advantage of any market that presents an easy cash flow. This is one of them. Best regards, Joe

I've been following this thread. Being relatively new to all this, I'm a little confused on how you expect this to pan out. Will the seller just never deliver the card? If so, doesn't PayPal protect the buyer in the event this is a scam?
Thanks, John

Not to give the Chan's of the world any bright ideas, but.....
1. He could send you fake T206 cards (as opposed to the ones in his picture). You will then have to prove to eBay that they are fake. 2. He could also send you an empty bubble envelope and then blame it on the post office. Again, you will have to prove it to eBay. 3. Perhaps he will send some modern stuff instead (seashell cards?), then claimed it was a mistake and to please send the seashell cards back to him. At which point, he will eventually declare that the cards never arrived back to him. Thus, he will now keep the T206 Cy Young card as restitution for the now lost seashell cards. 4. I supposed, he could also use a delay tactic. Hoping the 45 day paypal refund period will expire. 5. Or, the seller after learning.... A. that the T206 museum was a fraud, B. that Kevin S. might have a little "Jekyll and Hyde" in him, C. that Mastro auction(s) didn't mind a little shill bidding, D. that overprints will soon be selling on par with General Motors stock, E. that the F.B.I. has other more pressing things to worry about, F. that seashells are "more" valuable then 75 year-old stamps! Decided to lash-out at everyone in the hobby in the only sane manner possible. Lovely Day... Last edited by iggyman; 05-14-2009 at 09:31 AM.

Perhaps an Ebay going away party. He can immediately transfer that Paypal money into his banking account, drain it before the crap hits the fan and hit the road. Not much Paypal can do at that point but hopefully law enforcement can do something before he starts up another account and pulls the same stunt over and over again. Maybe Paypal might pay out to the buyer and take the hit themselves if it came to that, I don't know. Paypal and Co. doesn't seem like the benevolent type to me.

Isn't PayPal owned by eBay?
