Don't blame eBay, blame PEOPLE. Dishonest people will always, always, always find a way to separate other people from their money (and/or their valuable possessions). All eBay can do is respond to our complaints when such scam auctions are underway by cancelling the auction and perhaps bar that seller from eBay. But all the barred seller has to do is re-register under a new alias, etc., and they're back in business. The world is full of sob stories about people getting robbed in one way or another and eBay is just another method of doing so. In my experience eBay's great, you just have to watch out for the crooks.
