<VV> eBay Auction, Shipping to Canada

[corvairs]

This hasn't happened with our Corvair experiences but Linda does a lot 
of buying on ebay with her collectibles and it's a vicious jungle. 
Anyone who thinks that the simple platitudes about "feedback" "legal 
contracts"  "self policing" etc etc hold any water had better think 
twice. She has been reported for fraud (and shut down twice for over a 
week each) because she refused to pay a seller twice or three times. 
Each time the seller refused to deliver, claiming they didn't get thier 
money. Linda had paid once and received nothing so she sent another 
payment (took the seller's word that it had been "lost"). Seller still 
claimed it hadn't been received  herein Linda reported them to ebay 
wherein they filed a fraud complaint which shut HER down. While she was 
shut down she couldn't conduct any business or pursue the crooked 
seller. After hours and days of fooling around with ebay management she 
was reinstated, the seller cashed both checks sent nothing and is now 
probably logged in under a different name (REAL easy to do).

There are many other horror stories but the gist is when these crooks 
get to know how ebay works real well they get away with murder. Lon
