If EBay is true to their policies, the auction will get pulled and the seller banned from EBay.

If you are really lucky, the EBay seller might even get some jail time!

If not, as least you will feel better because you tried to do the right thing.
Excellent advice!! I wonder if the seller even is aware how much more serious it is to commit theft by fraud across state lines using the internet than just selling on the street. He must be a real genius.

Funny, but this is an example of how the relative anonymity of the web allows people to commit fraud, but also how the power of the web is BUSTING his ass so completely and quickly!!
