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."

    It used to be that people like you would post inane offtopic jokes about "M$" in every single Slashdot article. Cloned sheep? "M$ sux!" Hydroponic farming in Burma? "M$ sux" Japanese cats going to space? "M$ sux" SSH exploit? "M$ sux" Stephen king found dead? "M$ sux".

    Now it's "$CO sux". EBay scams? "$CO sux".

    Give it a rest. It's not working.
