<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2232180, member: 27832&quot;]This has been going on for many months with various silver coins. I &quot;bought&quot; one of the auctions for thirty-odd ASEs at slightly below melt. BP came through as usual. I&#039;m at a loss as to what anyone&#039;s gaining from this scam, since there seems to be no prospect of the scammer actually collecting. Maybe every once in a while they get a buyer who pays with something other than PayPal. Or maybe they&#039;ve found some third-party &quot;rewards&quot; program that gives them some benefit even on transactions that get reversed.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the past, when eBay BP reversed a transaction like this, they didn&#039;t take back the eBay Bucks reward for the transaction. That would have made buying listings like this a winning proposition for the bidder. They appear to have fixed that glitch, though. My encounter came just before the end of the last quarter, and so, for this quarter, I&#039;ve got a <i>negative</i> eBay Bucks balance. I haven&#039;t been buying the last couple of months, and at this point I&#039;m inclined to hold out until the end of the month just to see whether the negative balance goes away or carries over. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
