I dont know if this is really new but i do know what its effects can be to a seller or even the board or the financial institutions or even the shippers. Its a scam practice . I have seen it here on ebay and been affected by it too elsewhere. It can be practiced quite easily and it works too. How its done....seller give what appears a great item at a great price. Because these folks have no regard for the public or businesses they hack websites for pictures and adds modify them to suite their wants at times. You make your deal of the lifetime pay your money thu what ever financial institution you need to and wait for the goods...and wait...and wait..because nothing but an empty envelope or a trinket of some sort comes to your door that you wonder what is this? I never ordered this junk or what's with this empty envelope. Well what's with it is a delivery receipt from the delivery platform that indicates your ordered item was delivered. NOT. But when you go back to the sellers platform or the finance house they will state for you that you got your item and the seller has a delivery receipt for that(empty envelope or trinket). It has happened to me here at ebay twice now and just recently at Pay Pal. The ebay items were low dollar items and not worth the fight . But the Pay Pal items are. I am working with the USPS fraud division to end at least this one. There are more out there and here I suspect too. Whats this all mean ? People start loosing trust in good products , good business , good sellers , finance institutions and delivery services..for what ? computer hacks that are only interested in your cash. ebay has worked hard on its trusted reputation to have this be its downfall , but , not just here but across the entire internet. It took years and lots of hard work to get a reliable product base at your finger tips and now a handful of hacks may in short order do away with it. Scream at everyone, credit cards , finance houses , shippers , even legislators to protect what has taken so long to build.
