Re: [meteorite-list] Ongoing Amazon and eBay Scheme

The seller on Amazon should file a Notice Of Copyright Infringement (NOCI) 
with eBay since his description, artwork and images were plagiarized.  I 
would also note in the original description that the very best price for 
this item is through Amazon and not on eBay.


Just another case of people taking advantage of other's hard work and 
effort.  These piggy-backers (arbitragers) have no honor.  I have filed 
numerous NOCI complaints and many times they do help.  Freeloaders are a 
breed unto themselves and should be called out as in the article.

As someone, who relatively rarely purchases something on
eBay, I found the below article about the pitfalls of eBay quite
fascinating.

Great article, thanks for sharing! But the answer seems to be there:)

"He bought his own hat from an eBay arbitrager for $27 -- and then, before 
the arbitrager could go to Amazon and make the purchase, Wildermuth changed 
his Amazon listing price to $199. Result: The arbitrager could either lose 
$172 on the sale or cancel the purchase, which would damage the arbitrager’s 
eBay ranking. Wildermuth repeated this about 10 times. “I got these frantic 
calls [from the arbitrager]. He said, ‘Please don’t do this,’” says 
Wildermuth. “He knew what I was doing. And I let out a string of 
expletives.”"
