<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 20080, member: 112"]Let me say this about ebay - NO ONE can ever cheat you or take advantage of you - unless YOU let them. Doesn't make sense you say ?

Of course you don't. But why ? Because you know that the odds are strongly in favor of it being a scam. The Rolex is not real - it's a cheap copy made in Asia someplace for about 50 cents.
