Re: OT: is this a scam?
here's how this works, for all you ebay fish...
create account in june '06. list a bunch of junk quickly. get high rating. post "BINs" (buy it nows) of a popular, high money item. offer free shipping, so people dont have to worry about that... (for the record, know how much it costs to ship a monitor that size from london to the states? lol)... then, after everyone has payed for the BINs, collect your money from paypal, money clears while the shipping (remember it was comming from london) takes its course... 2 weeks later people are pissed, but it could still be "lost in the mail" type deal, so paypal can't really do anything... 3 weeks later everyone realizes they were screwed, and villain has just overdosed on meth while performing a "dirty sanchez" with a hooker...
that bout sums it up.
