$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Eli', 'T')is true, but that has been my experience with ebay I have been ripped off more than I care to admit on the seller side. People are always working angles and scams.
in the early '90's i sold used computers & parts using USENET & various SF Bay Area bulletin boards. out of 100's of transactions, no returns.
no bad checks.
i used UPS COD for about a hundred transactions. 100% success rate, UPS & the USPS were AWESOME. i depended on those little $50 and $200 checks, and they came through.
also i offered a "7 day DOA - AOK" warranty, i gave people 7 days to test stuff & notify me if they wanted to return it. nobody took me up on it.
the Internet or something has changed a lot.

Eli are you the prick from California that ripped me off. I made the mistake of buying something from a Prick in California who refused to ship after he got my money....

Yes that was me.
My favorite scam is to run up my rating by buying a ton of cheap items, then I find a very expensive item that will accept a cashiers check and I send them a fake check. It is awesome.
