does the good of Ebay overwhelm the fact of that so many hackers use it for the wrong reasons

yes,  just be smart,  always read the complete description, especialy the SHIPPING CHARGES and include them in the price you willing to pay.  Pay attention to the sellers rating,  I would rather pay a few extra bucks to buy from someone with a good rep than take a chance.  Also shop the item on nextag or a another similar site like yahoo shopping to make sure your not gettin excited and paying to much.  Same goes for those sites,  they have seller ratings for a reason.

Yes. Many people are doing very well on the Internet. \n\nJay and Marie Senese http://www.Jayandmarie.com of 1-cent CD fame is the largest volume sellers in eBay's history. And yes, they are making lots of money on eBay.\n\nPlentyofFish.com http://www.plentyoffish.com/ has earned millions from the Google Adsense program.\n\nRick Schwartz, the so-called domain king, earns $2 million a year by trading domain names http://money.cnn.com/magazines/business2/business2_archive/2005/12/01/8364591/index.htm\n\nCalvin Ayre, one of 2005's billionaire as listed by Forbes Magazine, is the Internet gaming mogul with his bodog.com website. Bodog handled $7.3 billion in online wagers in 2005, which gave Ayre sales of $210 million, and that he took 26% of the revenue to the bottom line. Unfortunately for Ayre, he was arrested last Friday as the FBI and IRS are both after him (most of his business comes from US but he does not pay in US because his business is based in Costa Rica) http://www.forbes.com/free_forbes/2006/0327/112.html\n\nThe good thing with Internet is that there are many ways to earn lots of money. There is not one program that allows people to earn big amounts of money.

There isn't too much financial fraud on E-bay, they do have safe guards and you can check out their page regarding what they cover.  (bought an expensive camera a couple years ago and didn't trust ebay so looked into it)\n\nThere is a lot of fraud in that items posted are not truely what they are.  Autographs are one of the worst in that regard as well as some unique collectibles, if you are concerned, check out their return policy.\n\nLara Croft, that is a funny story.

Probably, Ebay has never asked me that kind of info when logging in.  NEVER follow links from an email to get to ebay.  Always type www.ebay.com in your address bar yourself to get to the site.  Maybe scan your computer for viruses and spyware, make sure you have a firewall..\n\nIf you already entered that information, you might contact your bank, change account numbers, atm pin.  Contact the credit monitoring agencies and put them on alert to the fact that you gave out your SSN#.\n\n\n\nTry this free virus scan program http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

No. This is why eBay was invented for. This is the base of capitalism - selling stuff you don't need to people who want them.

I know there are alot. I am not one. I know what you mean. If people want to make a living gettig peoples crap just to sell it on Ebay they should take a look at their own crap they may have laying around their house. I think it is gross.

Crap, that's exactly what's up with it. But just think, there are people who fall for these scams, otherwise the scam wouldn't continue!

Pay attention to the shipping and handling costs.  That is where the sellers get you.  PLUS, the sellers feedback is CRITICAL when buying a computer on ebay.  I have been using eBay since 1998 and it has always been dangerous to buy a computer on ebay if you ignore feedback and shipping costs.  PLUS...VERY IMPORTANT.  If the listing says something like "UNTESTED, SOLD AS-IS" or something similar to that, BEWARE.  That probably means they are selling you a DEAD machine or a machine with known problems they are masking themselves from to avoid a negative feedback comment.  BE CAREFUL.\n\nIf you are careful though, you can get some awesome deals on ebay.

Sometimes people will make their money in shipping and handling.\n\nBut most of the time it is just there to raise their feedback.  The higher the feedback, the more money you make on eBay.
