    I reckon ebay must be really bad for stolen good laundering as they have nothing to loose so fees prob seam amazing, it the modern day fagin ha. Where else could thieves off sold stolen goods in past. Ebay turn a blind eye to it as makes so much money. You should google it i came across the facts by chance. They are the best off from it.

    You are either very young or have led a very sheltered life.

    Pre ebay there was of course no crime at all- no one cheated anyone else and the world was brighter and there was never a cloud in the sky.

    Well, this was found on Google so it must also be a true fact.

    When I used to go to Canada and the States a lot I always used to buy those mags- I just loved them. I then found out that some people actually believe the stories are true- I was quite shocked :eek:

    Apart from the obvious flaws in that statement as mentioned above it is also the case that more thieves have been caught and exposed from using Ebay with Ebay cooperating with the police in numerous cases reported.

    Ebay is generally a place for stupid thieves as if they sell something Ebay will often have their correct name, address, phone number, bank details, etc so certainly easier for the police to trace than "a bloke in a pub".

    As did I.
    To be honest, I found the WWN far more entertaining than trying to read USA Today.

    If you're suffering from withdrawl, you can still read it online.
