Well I'm not a big ebay user as I don't trust it much. But, can you dine and dash with smaller items?

I say this because my s.o. sold off an expensive star trek figure and got about $200 for it. Ebay would NOT release the money to him until the buyer confirmed that he had received the product with a positive review.

Guess that doesn't work for smaller denominations of money. Probably why the scam artists sell them off at ridiculously low prices?
That's a good point. I had forgotten that. I recently bought the Star Trek:NG Complete Series from someone for well over $100. As soon as tracking showed that I had received it, they were emailing me begging me to leave positive feedback so PayPal would release the money to them. I thought they were jerking my chain, but I checked and PayPal did indeed have a hold on the transfer.

Maybe it depends on dollar level, maybe it's verified accounts, or level of feedback or some combo there of...


I feel like giving up the rat race and just becoming a handsome millionaire.
