I'm sorry but if you are buying these books you almost deserve what is going to happen.

 

I wonder what will happen if I swallow this fish hook their isn't a warning label so can't be anything bad...

 

I agree with the sentiment, but without going to a forum where there are people acting as watchdogs it can be very hard to tell. I have yet to be ripped off on eBay (knocks on wood), but I can easily see how smart people can be fooled. I am hyper aware of too similar pictures on eBay myself, but I would likely miss if they were smart enough to pull it from an unrelated site I do not frequent.

and some people just take the risk and count on ebay/paypal protection to cover them.

Yup I wear my seat belt and have air bags so driving 100mph in a 60mph zone is fine I have protection. I thought of other protection ideas but alas here we are.

Now this same seller just happens to have an FF #1 which sold on heritage and he states in big red letters that he is "accepting offers" - as in, please buy it outside ebay's buyer protection.
