I have bought things from eBay in the past and will most likely do so in the future. Each time I have assumed that the person who has put something up for auction has actually had it to sell. Fortunately, this has always been the case. Had I bid, and possibly "won" the auction and that proved to *not* be the case, I would have been angry. And rightly so, I believe. I don't know whether or not that constitutes a crime and, frankly, do not care. I would have left a "negative feedback" stating that the so-called seller offered for sale something he was not in a position to deliver, and I would not have bid on an item from that seller again. I assume that an eBay seller would do the same thing if I told him I did not have the money that I bid for an item of his I "won." I agree with Mark on this one - something is obviously wrong with the above scenario. Guy
