Default OT - Seattle Man Gets Two Years for eBay Fraud

My experience with craigslist (as a seller) has had a pretty good

check for a whole bunch of money, you cash it, pay the shipper, and
refund the difference".

Point being, don't blame the venue for fraudulent behavior of
individuals.


I agree with you in principle, but at the same time do believe that
the structure of the venue isn't very helpful. To take an extreme
analogy, a poorly lit street is a much more attractive venue for an
assault than a brightly lit mall.
