      Here is a believable figure for you 100%, I have only once tried to buy something on eBay and got ripped off.
      If anybody reading this is from Greensburg, Pennsylvania reply to this thread because I want you to go look at an address for me.

        A very small percent overall, a very large percent in certain categories.

          It would be funny if GFY'ers around the world grouped together on fraud cases like that....

          It would go down something like this:

          1: You do a deal with someone & they rip you off.

          2. You post their address to GFY and someone takes a photo of their house for you.

          3. Within 48 hours, living however many hundreds of miles away from the person who ripped you off -- you simply email them a photo of their house and a "Please remedy the situation." (Could that be considered a threat?)

          4. The scammer pees his panties and does whatever he was supposed to do in the first place. (Maybe?)


          Would probably cut down outside fraud against GFY'ers in a big way anyway

              the only time i have ever had problem was when i accepted billpoint. credit card hackers loved billpoint.

              had a few idiots who bought from me. one person told me the money order was lost in the snow by the mailman, not once, but twice! i mean, do i really look that stupid?

                Supposedly ebay/paypal dropping the adult crap was not because of it being adult, it was becasue of the amount of fraud and copyright infringement that was happening.. So I would assume that becasue of that the numbers were really high in some cases..
