[MRCA] ebay scam

[J Mcvey]

 I think all that happened is that he was too lazy to make his own photos and used yours!Not a good practice if you are selling on Ebay, but I don't think he's a scammer.
If you look on his stats, he's got 540 positive , 3 negative feedback. He is also an "Ebay store" , so he's not some random "one off" guy doing a scam.  He wouldn't be on Ebay long if he was!

 BE CAREFUL. BE VERY CAREFUL. I GOT SCAMMED WHEN I WENT TO AN EBAY SITE FOR AN AR-11, WHICH DIRECTED ME TO PAGE TWO, WHICH WAS THEN AN OFF-SITE SCAMMING SITE, COMPLETE WITH AN EBAY “CHAT ROOM”.  WENT TO COURT TO CLAIM EBAY WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR BREACH, LOST, SO WAS OUT MEGABUCKS. WHAT I LEARNED THE HARD WAY: BEWARE OF “PAGE TWO’S” THAT TAKE YOU OFF-SITE, EVEN THO YOU WOULD SWEAR IT WAS STILL AN EBAY SITE (LOOKS IDENTICAL). PAY THRU PAYPAL ONLY, NO CASH , NO CHECKS.  IT’S GETTING CRAZY OUT THERE. ROB

In case anyone else wants to report this to ebay, someone has either usurped a legitimate account offering my radio equipment fraudulently, or the guy was too lazy to take his own picture. But I've seen scams like this before so I thought I'd pass it on.

Picture is mine with my radio equipment.
