    I'm guessing that the three different items went to different locations but can't help but wonder if somehow there is a common denominator and someone is scamming you. Just seems odd that all of a sudden these folks are coming out of the woodwork. I hope this bad run comes to a halt for you soon Gus.

    Yea there is something wrong with that picture, fortunately I only had three auctions that sold then I cancelled my metal detector.

    All individual buyers.

    Personaly I would call ebay and say exactly that. Why is it I have sold just fine for so many years than all of the sudden 3 cases in less than 2 weeks.

    I agree with PTS. I have been on fleecebay since 02, with only one issue, which was resolved. I do thank you, Gus, for sharing all this! It has made me more cautions about how much I put up at one time. Have a few big ticket items I was going to post this week, and decided not to risk it, as a result of what has happened to you. Would clean my clock right now to have a bunch tied up in limbo.

    Pray it all works out. BroJer

    Your probably OK selling within the U.S.A. where the laws will protect your interests, Item sent from Canada involves international treaties two separate law enforcements and such gets complicated most police officers don't know the laws they're hired to enforce.

    It took the US government to do what the Canadian government could not do, arrest a major drug criminal. In fact the dude was the main king pin of the United Gang which started up in BC then became large with International contacts. The dude is sitting in a US prison not Canada, not that this bothers me. It;s just a point I'm making.

    The United leader resided in B.C. he was not difficult to find, had a Penthouse and chauffeured around in an Armoured vehicle, when the dude went to attend a wedding in Mexico the DEA rerouted the plane back to Texas where the arrest was made, why couldn’t our law enforcement enforce the law. We;'re talking major drugs, gang slayings all connected to this dude.

    Anyhow I'm just rambling on, it will work out. I've wrote it off along with ebay.

    Wrapping parcels, digging the snow from my driveway so that I can get those packages to the post office 10 miles away - no thank you.
