Ebay has become what it is now because people won"t educate themselves before jumping in. Fake second chance offers, "click here to update your info", and all the other scams wouldn"t exist if people stopped falling for them. It dosen"t matter if Google or Joe Blow or anyone else starts a new auction site, the scammers will prey on the un-educated ones. Email just makes it easier to scam, can you imagine sending stamped self addressed envelopes to thousands of potential "victims"? What crook would do that? Not just ebay, I had 500.00 worth of lumber for sale on another site - Some clown wants to send me 3000.00 for if, if I would just forward the extra [by western union of course] to a third party. People fall for that too, the old "if it looks too good to be true" just doesn"t ring a bell with some people. It"s not just tractors either, scammers have hit any number of $$$$$$ items. Ebay works for me, almost 7 years & 1000 fb"s, all but 1 is pos. There are still honest people there.
