RE: [Chrysler300] EBay scammers getting better

[Nancy Kramer <nekramer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So that means if I want to sell anything on that piece of crap Ebay I have 
to buy 10 pieces of junk I don't want first and be VERY nice to the sellers 
to get a good "rep".  I bet the scammers will learn that too.

I knew a lady who was a "Power Seller" on Ebay.  There was somebody who 
actually put up a web site about her saying what a scammer she was.  Think 
it was true based upon knowing her.  One of the reason's I don't buy on Ebay.

The lady has a job now in case you are wondering what happened to her.  She 
sold "computer junk".  I personally think some of it may have been "hot" if 
you know what I mean.
