It's like people come to brag about getting scammed. Why not ask these questions before you commit to buy. I know why, your gambling with someone else's money. If you did not have buyer protection financed by other people, would you still bid? My guess is most of the time no.
They don't always get the money out, but the averages are pretty high actually. they can usually get 30-60% of the auctions that are paid money out before any red flags go up. But sometimes it's 100%. The average is low because they get cocky and don't even bother building up accounts after awhile. But once they have an account for a set period and build up feedback to 20-100 those people will get nearly all the money out. Because by the time you can file a claim it's to late. But if someone reports the auction as a scam and talks to ebay that sometimes changes. I flag every auction I see thats a scam. Which is why they end up getting their account suspended before you can file a claim.
But if your gonna take these chances, and suspect enough that it's a scam to post about it being a scam then you really shouldn't be doing it, nor risk other people's money. As I have said, eventually ebays going to get feed up of paying for people to gamble their money away..because remember if the scammer gets that money out ebay still has to pay you, so ebay is out that money not you..and when they get feed up they may cancel buyer protection altogether or make you sign up for a monthly membership, to buy and sell, or carry a form of insurance you pay for if you want buyer protection, and then if you make a claim just like with auto insurance they can cancel your policy and then your sol...anything like this can happen. People need to think BEFORE they buy not after.
