Before I sent my money off to Canada, I did some checking. I sent the following to eBay customer support:
I won auction 23317486. It is for an IBM ThinkPad 600e laptop. I got it for the ridiculously low price of $800.
The seller (playin586) last week sold 15 of these for $925. All nine buyers left feed back for him within 1 hour of each other. The feedback left for each of them on their auctions comes from one of the other eight people in the group of nine.
The seller wants only money orders or cashier's checks made out to CASH sent to Canada.
This sounds fishy to me. I have emailed the seller and asked him for the email
address of one of last week's buyers. I will send the money only then.
Please check this out. Also consider alerting firework21_kr who won 14 units
before he sends his money off to a possible never-never-land.
I will let you know what I hear back from user Playin586. Thanks.
Donald
