Please look at item 5135929362, I thought this was against ebay policy. Is this seller just selling a link???

I don't know whether selling the link is allowed or not, but what is the $6.99 shipping for?

Hey everyone,
This "seller" is really ripping people off. I have already reported him but maybe others can as well. He sold a URL (LINK) for over $50.00 U.S http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=51141&item=5136884534

Take a look at the auctions from the past 30 days, you will see what I mean. Something has to be done. I feel like I am watching a robery right in front of me and can't do anything to help these people that are spending this amount of money on a LINK that you can get for free. No wonder why the seller has made his feedback private. Please let me know your thoughts..
Thanks,

I dont understand how eBay can allow these "KIDS" to run these scams. It is very easy to tell by the poor spelling and the repetitive description that these are not adults.

These types of listings have been on eBay for years and while eBay does get rid of them after complaints, I really dont see why they cant scrutinize the listings BEFORE they go up. After all, 90% of these scams are for new computers so how difficult would it be to have an eBay employee look at new listings for computers and pull these.

I guess eBay is happy getting the listing money and commission from scams as is PayPal.

Also, why doesnt Gateway or Dell or other computer companies exercise some clout and go after these scam artists and eBay? After all, their reputations stand to suffer some damage as well.

You know that if scammed, you could go to PayPal and claim you never received the item and since the seller has no way of providing signed proof of delivery you got it, so you would get a full PayPal refund.

Malcolm,
I agree with everything you said. I reported it to ebay but they have not done anything... Maybe if others reported it they would do something... Either way, it is sad...

Its the scams and scam artists that give buying on the net a bad rap and the parties that host auctions or selling sites have a responsibility to police the sights themselves or suffer the consequences of fewer buyers and then fewer sellers.
