Do People actually do the Paypal/Ebay Scam?

[Suicidal Fish]

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?

[WhiteCollarCriminal]

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

[vajitosis]

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

[Suicidal Fish]

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.
