Agreed. No question a crime was committed and when you consider the amount of money at stake, this was a large, federal wire fraud punishable by at least a few years in prison. Ebay should have an automatic referral to the FBI for this crap instead of relying on its users/victims to alert the feds. They can provide ISP numbers, contact info (if real) and other identifying markers. It really is an outrage that some scumbag can do a day's worth of fraud and ruin lifetimes of hard work for honest people.
