Pimp.com on eBay

[Theo]

Except, it's not - look carefully:

Lol i am sure someone will fall for that, he should have had a buy it now price though as that auction might be pulled by eBay

 

[Theo]

What makes me mad is that he just registered the www-pimp domain and it won't show in the WHOIS searches - but comes up as taken when trying to register it - and most likely the single bid at 10k is a shill.

The same scammer tries to sell www-gamer.com
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=11153&item=5739441142

The same high bidder! This means that those are both shill bids (either that, or the bidder is really thick in the head)

Ebay is scam central when it comes to domain sales; many other things too. Anyone who buys a domain through Ebay does so at their own peril...

I've sold and bought dozens of domains on eBay; it's scammers like this one that give the rest a bad name.

 

[Legend.name]

I hate scammers... :worried:

 

[rawkinrich]

Burn em ALL!

 

[Ted]

Wow I feel bad for the guy who bid $10,000 on it. :disappoin

 

[rawkinrich]

That will prob be a scam bid.

 

[Bizarre]

Damn. I was really excited when I saw this thread.

 

[Theo]

That guy is really an a$$

I sent him an email through eBay; here's my question and his responses:

"Please respond with the exact domain you are selling, with no http and www."

gamer.com without the http://- & www-


AND


"Please respond with the exact domain you are selling, with no http and www."

PIMP.COM without the http- and the www-. Thanks.

I emailed him too.

My email via ebay:
"Is it "pimp.com" or "-pimp.com"? If it is the secod option you should make it more clear as it is very misleading."

His response - "Please read the auction. Thanks a lot!"

My response to is response - "Ok man got it. Checked the whois for that and gamer. Both you.
Shady ass description..."

Couldn't have said it better myself... What a Richard this guy is...

 

[actnow]

What a Richard this guy is...

Hey, don't bring me into this scam!!

 

[HOMEY1234]

Hey, don't bring me into this scam!!

LMAO Woooops... My bad... Sorry.. :-O

 

[Theo]

He has already been banned on N@mepros; there is an extended thread there.

 

[wyvern]

He has been reported to EBay....let's see what happens.

 

[mkx]

What he is doing is not very illegal, it is more like buyer beware. Read the description. However, it is obvious he is trying to take advantage of someone. Someone should find out where he stole that pimp logo from and get the owner to sue him for thousands of dollars. I heard scammers make a lot of money

 

[Theo]

It is illegal, on eBay. It's violation of the ruleset that applies to auctions.
