I had never explored this topic. I knew you could be burned on eBay but had not considered outright fraud on this level. eBay's divorce from pay-pal will probably accelerate the problem.

Just realized the one selling Tim’s 50 is also selling the 5, a boat and loco that were all previously listed by the CA pawn shop

I’m stumped, but they must work because the other Jensen #5 had been re-listed in this way well over a dozen times
