Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>More eBay fun. The seller of this fake Fro Joy sheet had 7 feedbacks when the auction started, but went on a .01 cent buying spree to beef up his feedback.<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1928-Authentic-Babe-Ruth-Fro-Joy-Uncut-Sheet-RARE-NR_W0QQitemZ8765979647QQcategoryZ31719QQssPageName ZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1928-Authentic-Babe-Ruth-Fro-Joy-Uncut-Sheet-RARE-NR_W0QQitemZ8765979647QQcategoryZ31719QQssPageName ZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a>

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>Oh my gosh. Who's selling all this $.01 stuff?? Is this some kind of help-each-other-build-feedback-ratings ring? No one sells things for a penny - even e-things. It has to be some kind of feedback inflating scam. Wow.<br /><br />Joann

Posted By: <b>Steve M.</b><p>What is the Paypal fee to a seller on a $.01 item? What a scam! For one cent, free delivery, you get glowing feedback. Just goes to show that you have to check out more than just the numbers.

Posted By: <b>Charlie O'Neal</b><p>I remember griping about this about a month back. Most of the .01 items I have seen on eBay is for a picture that is emailed to you. The ones I remember the seller actually states not to send money for the item he will just send you the pic as long as you leave feedback.<br /><br />This is one of eBay's gray areas I believe b/c you can find enough ebay auctions that would get you a respectabe rating costing you only a couple of dollars and then turn around and start selling like you have a good reputation only to screw the buyer.<br /><br />I wonder how many fake T206 Wagner's well see before long with the person having a feedback score of 500.

Posted By: <b>Jon Canfield</b><p>I don't get it though... doesn't the seller have to pay 35 cents to list this auction? So, is he ssentially taking a 34 cent loss each time he does this?
