Watch out for EBAY SCAMS! Any “private” auction should raise big red flags! Positive feedback could be bogus if all is from private auctions..

I myself, will generally not purchase anything but HARDWARE from ebay. Even with hardware you have to be careful of scammers, but they use different methods. For now I just wanted to warn people that when they see 99% positive feedback on a seller, they should make sure to check his feedback and if the majority of the feedback is all from PRIVATE auctions, I think it should raise red flags as to the legitimacy of that seller. Why the need for such secrecy unless they’re selling porn or something like that. Of course I’m not implying they are, I’m just saying if they’re not selling something sensitive, why would they need to “hide” what item they sold to get that feedback. Perhaps they sold a bunch of penny or free items to bogus buyers just to get their feedback way up to catch and prey on a few clueless victims. (You still need to be weary of accounts that have been hijacked which might have a perfect record but a hacker and scammer through phishing or other methods hijacked the account. So just learn to protect yourselves, and don’t be greedy or you’ll deserve it when you get screwed, if it sounds too good to be true, then it’s likely a scammer, waiting, for, you!
