Title: All Ebay Sales paid for with Bitcoins are a Scam
Post by: flavius on April 27, 2013, 04:03:15 AM
Hello. I am updating this forum with the news that ebay has recently been hit with hundreds of listings for the new mining devices and users were paid with bitcoins or alike virtual currency. I have been informed that even accounts with thousands of feedback pulled this scam off and pretty much anyone you paid with BTC won't be sending you anything. There is nothing you can do, and most accounts were made with false personal information.

One account is of a user losing $33,530 for one single item.

What you are doing is saying that anyone on Ebay who uses Bitcoin is a scammer.  I think you can see that a generalization like that will cause offence.

I'm saying there are probably 100 listings up currently that you will get scammed on. I doubt even 20% of bitcoin purchases are legitimate. I know people who are making six figures from doing this.

Bump, this is getting insanely out of control. People are making millions from this.
