I thought we were always logging in now so we could see who people are (case in point, the antagonistic posts by Steve).

I think the seller has a right to be upset too, but not for the same reasons as Steve. Either:

a. He knew it was a fake card and is upset because he got busted, or

b. He had a card he didn't know was fake, and is out a lot of money because he got scammed himself.

No one should be obligated to spend money just because they won an auction if they found out the item was being seriously misrepresented, even if PERHAPS unintentionally so. Would you, Steve, pay over $400 for something you realized was not legit if you didn't hand over your money yet just because you agreed to it, even though it was under a false assumption? I know I wouldn't. I don't think anyone here would. I almost got scammed by someone a few months ago for some cards for about $100, but checked here first, found out the cards were fakes, and was extremely grateful to have not given my money to a likely criminal. I have no respect or patience for these scammers at all, they deserve a lot worse than just having someone welch on a bid.

Just my point of view...
