1 of the biggest problems with ebay in my view is you end up listing bigger priced items numerous times because of either getting let down by the alleged buyer, or, as in this case, an ebay 'member' attempts to lure you in to a trap to send the item when funds have been sent (as proven by a spurious email NOT actually from PayPal). I didn't fall for it, but some people will. I cant communicate with ebay this most frustrating situation for the account to be closed down. So I will put it here for what good it does...there are too many theives on ebay these days, and I am finally looking at alternatives. I shrowded the address of the guy, just in case he is unaware or an innocent in this. they messaged me in ebay and sent me their email address (seemingly getting around ebay protection) which I responded to. They agreed a price with little bartering and said they would send me the money and asking my item to be sent promptly once email of funds received is seen. Clearly the email was not actually from PayPal at all. mail.com is a email account service just like gmail.com is. Sure enough on checking my PayPal account there was nothing received. Question is, this guy has the intent on stealing goods without paying through deception. That is a crime in itself. I cant communicate this with ebay, but how do I invlove the Police? Thanks for any suggestions. Simon
