I personally don't like Ebay -- because I would not trust another human being where there is money concerned... This kid can't be the only scammer out there, he's just the only one who got caught -- right now.

Ebay does have an Escrow service that they reccommend for purchases over 500.00 - why wouldn't this buyer have protected himself by using a service... The service is listed right on the Ebay Services page.

Does Ebay have any responsibility to make sure that the items are not scams- they've set a few precedents in pulling ads, but should it be completely caveat emptor?
