Default Eagle8016 - I couldn't help myself

Posted By: Anonymous

Bob - I noticed that as well. Most (but not all) people who would bid on such blatant forgeries will not realize they have bought a fake, even when holding it in their hands.

There was a guy named DrBond who did the same thing Eagle is doing, but apologetically issued refunds to those who said they had bought fakes - this kept them happy and he still made a load off the buyers who didn't recognize they now owned forgeries. If Eagle is doing the same, that would explain why he is not getting hit with negatives. It's the same old story with ebay's flawed feedback system - leave a negative and you don't get your refund from the scammer. If you get your refund and then leave a negative, you get hit with a negative from the scammer for your efforts.

Eagle is different from the DrBonds of the past in that he is flooding ebay with these fakes - the odds of a few of the victims getting together and exacting revenge are much greater than for past scammers. Perhaps I'm naive, but in this case I am really surprised ebay hasn't shut him down....Yaaaahooo!!!
