eBay crap-fest.

So, I have this laptop that I am looking to find a new home for. this is the type of thing that goes on all the time at eBay, right?

Apparently not, it seems that the hallowed halls of eBay have become a haven for scammers. I have put this laptop up for auction seven times now each time the winning bid has come in from a scammer and eBay has taken down the listing. These people put in last second bids making it damn near impossible to use the function eBay gives you to remove bidders. I grow weary of this re-occurring and am now looking to sell the thing through other means. Craigslist comes to mind as does the paper.

I wonder if all this activity has anything to do with the recent hack of eBay. I sold my X-Box smoothly and without issue a while back and was pleased with the whole operation. Now I have doubts as to whether I'll use eBay ever again. I don't like the idea of putting something up for sale so many times.
