Ebay has risen as the premier site to buy and sell just about anything, including the kitchen sink.  This mega auction house has also created a haven for scammers looking to make a fast buck.  Since Ebay started people have been creating auctions that are selling items that don’t exsist and taking people’s money.  This is a real problem not only for the immediate legal consequences but it hurts ebay as a website.  It decreases overall credibility and causes user to lose trust in the system as well as the users.  The concept of ebay is a great one, it gives people the freedom to sell their stuff to someone who wants it at fair market price not $5 at some garage sale.
