This is the worst I've seen things on EBAY. I've been using for quite a while and I have been getting more fraudulent bidders than ever. Below is the third such attempt for one auction on a piece of machinery. Originally the auction was closed with a buy-it-now transaction from one of these idiots. This is getting to be too much. Anyone experiencing a surge lately?

I received the following Email from coopperstore17:
