Whoa, get a load of this re eBay auctioneer - Unmasked
I haven't kept up with this story, but I followed a link from Barackryphal

http://barackryphal.blogspot.com/2009/07/colmadonaranja...

To this totally fascinating Freeper thread

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2283140/posts?...

Starting at Post #47 - but continuing through the rest of the thread

Photo eBay seller self-identified as located in Cedar Rapids IA, calling himself variously "Lucas" and "Smith" - he posted photos of himself (supposedly in Africa; more likely now the Dominican Republic):



CBS News photo during last year's flood in Cedar Rapids of Lucas Smith



A con artist who tried to sell a distressed family in Syracuse NY a kidney for their kid who only had one :wow:

3. Whatta story!!
I have to give the Freeps credit on this one. They tracked it down and exposed the fraud for what we all knew was a fraud. They did a good job.

:toast:

The first blog link makes reference to that connection--this guy is the one auctioning "Obama's Kenyan birth certificate" on eBay --
A con artist who was playing the fweepers for the losers they are . . .

5. Free new Ebay, PayPal, Ebay suspensions, PayPal limited, business and law forums
There is a forum I found on the internet that is free, and helps with Ebay, PayPal, business and the law. Just post any question, the experts will answer it if it has not already been answered! I got booted off EBAY but unlike this guy, I was not a crook! I am innocent!

The forum has a lot of expert advice on it. http://www.modeeworld.com/forums I found advice there about how to avoid EBAY suspensions, get past PayPal limitations, also lots of detailed help on creating your own business, getting past trademark violations, VERO and lots more. Plus general advice on how best to sell on EBAY, what sells the best, how to get the best price for your product, really everything related to EBAY and internet business.

Also advice about how EBAY really works and how PayPal really works. The inside scoop.

Beautiful forum. I was made a moderator of the forum and I love it!
