Why does EBAY allow scumbag con artists to auction bogus crap on EBAY? I hate to admit I got caught up in the stories and lost thousands. The professional con artists know the right buttons to push and the line of crap they throw out sinks many gullible buyers. While we are out busting our fannies to put food on the table and pump high priced gas into our tanks the EBAY meta sellers sleep in waiting for us to return to dig our pockets. EBAY allows scum of the earth to prey on the desperate, lonely, and needy. The paranormal craze and popular paranormal TV series made me believe a ring could make me rich and I waited for the money to roll in.An empty wallet brought me back to reality. The shill bidding organizations make it impossible for EBAY to track down and the scam artists get away with it. With popular paranormal TV series people are willing to believe anything. The biggest scams are hidden by private auctions to hide shill bidding . Are we to believe djinn will grant us anything we want or a ring will solve all our money problems? The last time I looked up djinn in an actual encyclopedia I read djinn spread diseases and cause deaths. I don't fully blame the scumbag low class sellers who are uneducated and live a life of crime. I blame EBAY for allowing scandalous selling activity. The EBAY taboo category brings in huge sums of money for ebay. I wrote a letter to Ebay urging the CEO to remove the category. Blowing the whistle on EBAY taboo biggest moneymaker a paradise for frauds and cons. Primetime or Dateline should investigate the explosion of fraud on EBAY. The sellers don't pay taxes for their scam income and don't report income to Uncle Sam. Paypal can report income to IRS when a seller is investigated. Thousands go unreported,

Hi
I agree that some of e-bay sellers they sell fake items and looking for tax-free money gain, O agree, I am a Moslem and djinn in our culture are diffrent, King Solemn had an army of djinn he had used long years.
I myself the keeper of three djinns , they did not bring wealth to be honest but they make things easy for me.. I talk to them constantly and they are pretty comfortable to deal with , I feel them and I know when they are around and what do they want.
It is a cultural thing ,, Though I agree again that some ebay sellers are scammers
thanks

OK, seriously... this is a joke, right?

You're pulling our legs, right?

Because if you honestly BELIEVED that a ring was "magic" and would make you rich, the problem here isn't the seller... IT'S YOU!!!

I know that those popular TV shows you mentioned delve into the paranormal, and may make you believe in the possibility that things like magic and ghosts exist, but still, I've known 5-year olds that were smart enough to know that the only person getting rich from that ring would be the SELLER when he found someone that was actually GULLIBLE enough to BUY IT for a ridiculously high price!

The seller may have made the claims you say he made (we can't be sure since we don't have a link to the auction you mention,) and he may even be a con artist, but every eBay sale takes 2 people: the seller, and THE BUYER! Every buyer is responsible for their OWN decisions! YOU are the one that chose to believe the ring was "magic" and would make you rich, and thus YOU chose to buy that ring for a large sum of money! No one held a gun to your head and made you click on the "Bid Now" button, you did it OF YOUR OWN FREE WILL!

Before you blame the seller for your obvious lack of common sense, you should take a good, long, HARD look in the mirror, pal!

Like P.T. Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute!" On that particular day, at that particular minute, that sucker was YOU. The best advice I can give you in this regard, is to memorize the following, and recite it to yourself before you place any more bids on eBay:

"Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on ME."

'Nuff said.
