Breach of a contract is NOT a criminal matter... It's a civil litigation and has to be brought in front of the Civil Courts. You would be surprise how many calls we get regarding Ebay f... ups.
The only time we open an investigation is when we can clearly establish mens rea (criminal intentions). Classic scenario is the following:
I bought this item and paid the seller 450$ for it. I never received the said item... I contacted seller which, by the way, lives in Japan and he stated that the item was shipped. I did not take any insurance so there was no tracking on the package.
Translation:
I'm a cheap bastard refused to insure a 450$ purchase and furthermore, asked seller to write this off as a gift of a 20$ value. Now, I think I got an a** reaming so please Mr. Policeman would you help me???
Classic he said she said scenario good for file 13...

Well I reported him. For false picture and shill bidding looks like he is doing that and figured that 450$ was a little to high and nobody would bid so retracted it and added a lesser ammount hmm? Also odds of 2 brand new accounts never used bidding on that one item what are the odds

Has anyone *seen*, or asked to go see that machine, given it is supposed to be in Gatineau ?
It would clarify if this is yet another scam, or someone truly mis-informed.
The shill bidding and stolen pics are not good clues though !!!

Hey Guys , the first line of the revised description is
"Am 12-Jun-07 hat der Verk�er die folgenden Angaben hinzugef�ot;
if it is in Gatineau how come it was not revised on Ebay.ca ??????
BTW i sold mine last year , very cleaned all shopped , had hard time to get $450.00 !!!
Good point, i noticed the same this morning and double-checked i was logged on Ebay.ca...
Anyway, this game doesnt really deserve attention does it ? Like you said, nobody wanted one last year... scamming with an unwanted EM, its new, high end pins scams auctions looks suspicious so now they are using items of lesser value ?
She might still be legit and use a foreign langage on her computer

I say someone opens up bogus ebay accounts and bids the thing up to 4K, just for the entertainment value. If they are shilling and ripping pics, why not post fake bids!
When the time comes to pay for the item, send them a "Nigerian" type letter or claim you thought the currency you were bidding in was the dinar.
The auction is real - I've emailed this clueless bimbo before.. Too stupid to realize she was on the german Ebay site when she did the revision.. She was probably tracking down other pin auctions - this is how she came up with the "it's worth 4500$".. A few months ago she kept sending me emails with links to pin auctions saying :"HERE I TOLD YOU THEY WERE WORTH THAT MUCH".. She was linking to wacko auctions with 0 bids because the prices were so stupid - like a 4000$ Capt Fantastic, etc..
She has no clue that an asking price is not the same as a selling price... I'm 98% sure she will turn out to be a deadbeat seller. And YES I'm 98% sure she's shill bidding, so she doesn't have to sell at a low price.
I guess the only advantage of raising the selling price is that she'll be stuck with higher Ebay fees when her shill bidder wins the auction..
Whatever

No I wouldn't and in fact wonder why they haven't cracked down on Ebay because they are setting the public up for this kind of thing.
Glad to see my tax dollars going to monitoring Ebay's non-existent policing policies.
It's at $61 right now, but has a full day left to make up the extra $4439.00
Now at $237.50 USD for a non-working, non-collectable EM, with shill bidding, stolen pics, and evasive answers.
Wow... Why is *anyone* bidding on this ? I will refrain from commenting.
Hopefully the shill bidder wins
