Sadly true. I have had much better luck dealing with strangers on Ebay than with folks on this BBS.
Even more frustrating, I've had the interesting experience of seeing other BBS members come to the defense of someone operating blatantly and intentionally illegally. The presumed advantage of a community like this is that we take some effort to act in each others' interest. For the most part, that's what people do. However, Ebay has a feedback system, while the feedback here is very informal and inconsistent.
