[Premium-Rx] Off-site sales of the Unknown

[S. Schappert]

Hello to the list members !

I have been watching the emails in regard to what appears to be a new paradigm in misrepresentation on eBay.  In the last month, I have received emails for virtually every item I have bid on in the last sixty days for off-site sale.  Many I have sent to eBay, but there does not seem to be anything that can be done.  Many come from the same sender, based on many similarities.

The emails "seem" to originate in England.  The English composition is terrible, and grammer is equivalent.  The author is either non-English speaking or uneducated or both.  Currently, "Katya", who works in a "police station" in London is trying to sell me an exact WJ-8615-2 receiver up on eBay at this moment.   Maybe "Katya" is reading this post ?  Would that not be ironic ??

I have to laugh at these emails, they are so incredibly ignorant and mis-guided it is comical.  What is not comical is the fact that one must second guess, and be hyper-aware at all transactions and worry about those who hide behind a monitor and VPN.  The thought of the possibility of having ones eBay membership compromised is a gating event that has, at least for myself, changed this whole process and its' value, to me, has diminished.

eBay is not so important when the risk is weighted against the benefits.
