eBay - crazy number of scams!

[Stu]

A warning for new starters that there seem to be a higher than usual number of scams on eBay currently. I've just given up reporting after about 8 or 9.

Easy to spot, nice bit of kit with a low start price and then in the item description and invitation to buy outside eBay/PayPal protection.

Stay well clear!

Well worth highlighting these again though Stu

I know they are often around, but I was just struck by how many new ones had just suddenly appeared, I lost track.
