Title: Do People actually do the Paypal/Ebay Scam?
Post by: Suicidal Fish on November 12, 2014, 02:09:07 am
Here in the UK you open a Paypal account, verify it with a virtual card open a Ebay account and ebay gives you a selling limit of £650 and 10 items, you 'sell' a couple of iPads, the money goes into your Paypal, you have it verified so you order some stuff on Ebay and cash in.

Then Repeat.

Sounds so easy but I have never done it because it probaly is too easy.

Does anybody do this on a Full Time Basis?

In America you have to wait 21 days after it's sold to insure they are real iPads

Yep 21 day wait for new accounts. However, you could use a French PayPal since they don't allow PP to do the 21 day thing.

There's no 21 day hold if you sell outside of eBay. Craigslist would be my best bet

Ebay France I believe still does not have the 21 day limit.

Anybody checked?

It works best if the person actually sells stolen items for a while and builds up positive feedback, then rips.  Can be done other places as well.

That's why I stop. Too much of a hassle. You gotta sell a lot of shit, get great feedbacks, ship orders on time before you can pull off a big scam that's why its more easier to just deal with PayPal only.
