Questionable listing on eBay - BLACK NIKON SP
"EF in FLA" wrote in message
... Seller has (0) feedback Seller joined ebay on the day of the auction listing Seller is offering a $5000+ camera for under $900 Pffft. It's an SLR, I wouldn't give you $10 for it. It might make a nice paperweight though. ef It's not a SLR, it's a 35mm rangefinder. |

Bid, win then Say:
"ship it to me first, then I'll pay; I have XXX # perfect positive feedback saying I alway pay, you have zero, when I get it, I'll pay." I have done this maybe a half-a-dozen times, and they always agreed. It's what happenes when you deal with honest people with zero feedback. If they utterly refuse... 'nuff said.

I'm honest, and there's NO way I or anyone else I know would ship something without payment just because I was a newbie. Your technique is a borderline scam in itself. If I refuse to ship without payment that makes me a a scammer in your books.....'nuff said. |
