Doesn't surprise me, either. With an open system like eBay, it was pretty much bound to happen, human nature being what it is.

And before there was eBay there were pawn shops, garage sales, flea markets, and classified ads.

Wow, they not only stole the goods, the woman stole postage from her employer to ship them out.

heh, why should she be out of pocket anything? Steal the stuff, then steal the postage. If you're gonna be a thief, might as well be a thorough one

It's been going on for a while now.

Good they were caught.

Shoplifters will sell anywhere.

Looks like they were hitting the Victoria's Secret in Birmingham really hard!

When Wal-mart used to not require a receipt for return, shoplifters would steal from them and return for cash SMH.

ROFL!

Might be a good idea to read articles before commenting. The one linked to in the OP is from the UK.

I remember a documentary years ago about rings (called boosters) that would literally sweep shelves clear of small items in drugstores. They would go in with big shopping bag/purses (lined to avoid door alarms?) and go down the shelves pushing everything into the bags. It showed a store with aisles of almost empty shelves after a ring of them passed through.

And it went on eBay.
