After bidding on a Dell Laptop on an auction, I got this message:


To member: dartanian
From member: bassbound_inc

--------------------


I am a licensed wholesaler in VA. I am selling this unit for the above price. The unit is brand new and comes with a 3 year warranty. It is still factory sealed from the warehouse in Dallas,TX. This unit must be sold immediately. Payment for this model is accepted by postal moneyorder, because that it the only form of payment that I can accept for this unit, the wholesale price is bottom line. Please if you are seriously interested in this unit send a postal moneyorder for the above amount overnight delivery by FedEx. Your unit will be shipped next day delivery by FedEx. I will be waiting for your response, if you have any questions please call the number listed. Thankyou for your business.

People, the only person who would sell you a Latitude C600 for $600 is selling a stolen or non-existant unit. He wants money orders because they are difficult if not impossible to stop.

Maybe you should inform E-bay of his practice. He'll be banned real quick. It is forbidden to email people soliciting goods.

I'm not sure on that, but if they do, I doubt it would cover a deal made from a solicitation like that e-mail above. I think any insurance would only cover auctions that properly ended.

<< Flee-bay does insure purchases that are over $200.00 don't they? >>




I think it's up to 200.00---anything more and you're screwed.

plus there's a $25 deductible and your are not guaranteed to be covered anyway. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. I've been burned before, so I wouldn't take any chances if I were you.

Inform [/b]Ebay[/b]. Contacting bidders like that to sell items is against their policy.

Also, I don't believe [/b]Ebay[/b] insures anything. They only provide the auction service. If you want a gaurantee, go through an escrow service.
