[Coco] eBay Scams???

[Steve Ostrom]

There has been some discussion recently about a certain eBay seller 
(georgep) that is scamming people.  Pasted below is his two most recent 
negative comments.  Hopefully this pasted info will make it through to 
the list OK.  He seems to have a pretty good record, with 5 negatives in 
the past 6 months with a large number of positives, including these two 
negatives by glenvdb.  I know glen has been active on this list for 
awhile, but I did recently win a fairly expensive second chance ebay 
auction from someone (not georgep) who said the first winner never paid 
him and didn't answer his e-mails.  That person was glenvdb.  Glen, I'm 
not trying to start a flame war here, but am just reporting the facts 
that I know.  I have no first-hand information if georgep is legit or 
not, but there seems to be more than one side to this story.  It might 
be prudent for all of us to be careful, but it seems that glenvdb and 
georgep are feuding, and maybe neither is being 100% honest.  You'll 
have to make your own decisions.  I guess I would still bid on items 
from georgep but would be careful not to overbid so that if he does bump 
up his own auction, you won't pay more than you would expect to pay.  
Please don't take my word for any of this, but if you are concerned, 
check eBay records yourself.  I'd hate for either glen or george to get 
a bad rap if it is not deserved.  -- Steve --
