Bob & Listers,
I'd be VERY leary about bidding on the item below. The seller wants
payment only by Western Union. This is the classic ploy of a rip off artist
who has high jacked the ligitemite account of an honest EBay seller. Any
time you see payment only by Western Union, be suspicious. Ask the seller
some questions. Ask if you can come over to see the item in person. If it's
a scammer, he'll dodge and hedge.

Listers,
I may have been premature with my last post. I note that the seller will
also accept PayPal and major credit cards, so this may well be a legitimate
auction. However, as an EBay member who has recently had his own account
high jacked, I'm very leery of auctions where Western Union is offered.
Other scam tip offs are a willingness to sell world wide and a very
attractive shipping policy.
When an account is high jacked, the EBay member who's account is used,
has no idea that the items (which will be vapor ware) have been listed to
his account.

Peter,
I usually offer shipping to Canada, Mexico and Western Europe when I sell
items on EBay. Like I said, I'm suspicious of items offered "world wide".

I'm concerned you view "worldwide" as a negative. As a frequent ebay
purchaser from the UK, it is always a frustration that many ebay sellers
won't ship outside of the US even though the process is both easy and cheap.

I do agree that "Western Union" is the big red flag. In general I will
only buy using paypal even if it means up-ing the price to cover the costs.

Best Regards

Peter
