I thought I'd head over to Ebay and take a look at the PSP's up for auction. One thing only a few people know about me is that I read everything. If there are words around me, I'm reading all of them. It's a habit.

So I'm reading all the information about the PSP from a seller. At the bottom, I read this:

“Please note you are bidding on where you can buy the PSP for twenty pound”

Now that is really misleading. The title doesn't say you are bidding on “information only”. So, how do I know for certain this person is trying to scam people. Couple of things: 1) All the items are expensive electronics 2) This seller just signed up on Ebay on Nov-27th 3) This seller has never sold an item 4) Some of the items have that sentence really buried in the middle of the description.

Here's a good one. Brand New Apple iBook G4. Look for the sentence that says it's for information only. Pretty well hidden isn't it. Any the top bidder right now is going to pay $889 for that little piece of information.

I have reported this to Ebay and was told they are actively investigating this seller. Let's hope they do the right thing and pull the plug on him before he pulls the plug on someone's Christmas tree.
