DISASTER: Within a week, 3 of my 'BUY IT NOW' items are clicked "purchased" by Nigerian frauds on EBAY; each one with a similar story to tell. I ask all of you, is it a business website or a children's joke going on? Total amount of the "purchased" items is Rs 22,000/-. It could've been well over 22,00,000/- had I listed costlier items or more of them.
Am I supposed to waste all my time correcting and complaining these frauds? Even EBAY must be wasting much of it's resources for these frauds. Are the EBAY administration and we the businessmen combined together ain't smart enough to outsmart those 'duffer' frauds from Nigeria, coming with same old story every time?? I am already feeling like a stupid. Don't EBAY administration ever feel the same, being made fool daily by Nigerians?
EBAY has to correct this system (of selling without the consent of seller) immediately. How can they "sell" my things to any Bas***d from Nigeria and charge me the commission as well!
Have a look at the Email that that fraud Nigerian has send me:

Look at the line " My husbad in Nigeria" (not husband;
Really very bad!). In a previous Email of these frauds, it was business partner instead of husband, but the rest was similar.
Now look at the last line............. EBAY has even "congratulated" her for harrassing me.
It is clear that we sellers now demand one of the following things:
1. Previous system of verifying the identity and residential address of the buyers by post/courier or,
2. Right of the seller to accept or reject a buyer; as I have suggested in a previous post.
COME OUT PLEASE!!!!!
Yours always
Jyoti
