Ebay Any One?

In our area its gotten much worse. We have people looking for locals with large or expensive items to bid on so they can rob the person. Local police is recommending that any meetings should occur somewhere with guards. Such as.. "To make this easier why dont we just meet at my bank"

Do you mean going to see a seller and just taking what they were trying to sell? I've heard of 'steal to order' scams where people put up an eBay sale and then go steal the thing they were selling once they have a winning bid. It's amazing how brazen criminals can be.
