Naturally, since the price was so low, I had to bid. It was a private auction, so I had to contact the seller for approval. Well, the seller tells me that he'd rather sell to me privately since there were no bids, and because the auction had ended already. Bottom line, I sent him the money and never saw the laptop. Even worse is the guy is in France. I've been in contact with several people in Australia and the UK who have been scammed. The REAL owner of the account never knew about the fraudulent items posted in his eBay store.The account had over 2000+ positive feedbacks, I just never knew that it was NOT the REAL owner of the account.</blockquote>
