I usually add a condition to the auction that bidders with feedback less than 5
should email me first, and the failure to do so will result in a cancelled bid.
This has, thus far anyway, prevented any bad bidders (which is nice)

Not just on arcade gear, women's clothes too.
BTW it's my wife selling them (and they're hers too)
Buyer is usually a same day, zero feedback account.
Sent ebay the mail from the buyer, lo and behold the buyer is no longer
registered.

All money laundering should be reported: http://www.ncis.co.uk/

You wouldn't want to have the next terrorism attack on your conscious would
you?

"Hey! Look at all those dead (innocent) people! I helped fund that!"

Send them the email header so they can hopefully trace it to the source. If
you did go along with it, I think the maximum sentence for being involved is
four years...

Unlike our taxation money which goes to funding the killing of tens of
thousands of innocent people worldwide every year in our acts of terrorism.
