Profile of an eBay Scammer

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the high-tech-swindlers dept.

prostoalex writes "FastCompany is running an article about Jay Nelson, whose primary income source for about 5 years included selling goods on eBay. Considering that he chose to skip the delivery, the profit margins were at an all time high. Under the names of biggerthanu, harddrives4sale, diamondsoft, yoshiinc and susancutey Nelson would collect five-digit PayPal payments from the buyers on eBay and Yahoo Auctions."

    Just because you oppose a different system does not mean you need to be blind to the failings of your prefered system.

    Admit that Capitalism has problems and what those problems are.

    Then find ways of dealing with those problems.

    Why would you let someone else define terms for you? You can call it "freedom" or "slavery", but that only appeals to those who like to restrict their mental processes to black and white and good and evil.
