eBay: A Festering Hellhole Of Scammers?
Another supposedly great web-based service surrendering to those crazy Nigerians and their kin. One look at the comment thread of all sorts of people who’ve have some bad eBay experience, this is a strong undeniable suit.
Just this past week I attempted to use eBay to auction off two notebook computers and quickly discovered that this was an impossible task thanks to all the scammers who now appear to have almost complete control of the site. Yes, you heard that right. Complete control. The way these scammers work is they send you an email asking to purchase your item outside of eBay, then when you won’t bite they hose your auction using a hacked account effectively preventing you from making a legitimate sale and at the same time sticking you with huge sellers fees from eBay. Don’t believe me? Here is the proof.
So how would other honest people, like this hilarious, brain-damage-inducing and enterprising Filipino musician [thanks to Alvin Julian for this link] ever hope now for vindication and a cheap shot at fame?

Wow! I need to get that CD! Seriously, I’ve been selling on ebay for awhile and have never been scammed. I sell cheap, crappy stuff though

dementia, that CD is the shite. i was rolling on the floor laughing over the whole thing, especially if you’d have the nerve to listen to its sample tracks. “chakit ulo, chaket tyan”? this guy should be the country’s britney spears.

JB, maybe you can be that guy’s manager. That would be cool. You’ll become filthy rich especially if you promote that to AM radios and STAR FM. Hahaha.
