<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1010027, member: 24633&quot;]Yes, knowledge is power, but the problem with SleazeBay is not the organization itself, but the lowlifes who use it. I try to pick and choose carefully the sellers with whom I choose to do business with on eBay, but even then, some scumbags fall through the cracks. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Consider, for example, the time I purchased a $1K Morgan only to have the seller, <b><i>WHO WAS A TENNESSEE MAGISTRATE</i></b>, switch coins with one that was ungradable. Yeah, I finally got my money back, but it took a lot of arguing and threats to file charges with the US Attorney and the States Attorney of Tennessee.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another instance many years ago involved a seller who misrepresented a casino chip that I purchased. I never got my money back, and he even hit me with negative feedback when I had done nothing wrong. Like I said, this was a long time ago before I was using a PO box, and the next thing I knew, I was inundated with dozens and dozens of magazine subscriptions, time share proposals, intimate ladies wear catalogs, etc. I had to spend many hours on the phone with these companies explaining to them that I had never ordered their marchandise. All of these requests originated from mail-in cards and some of the companies kept them on file. I asked for photocopies of the cards, and sure enough, they came from his location and the handwriting was a match to his.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The same can be said for Craigslist. Slimeballs are using it to supposedly sell valuable merchandise, not just coins, to gain access to some homes for the purpose of robbing them or burglarizing the home when the residents are away.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, whenever I refer to them as SleazeBay, I am referring to the people who use it, and I would strongly urge anyone who does use eBay a lot to rent a PO box for the peace of mind it gives you. If you don&#039;t, you may be asking for serious trouble if some whacko gets ticked at you <b><i>because he knows where you live!</i></b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
