</div>I've heard that it's almost impossible to sell electronic gear on eBay<br>
these days, because those scammers are so persistent. The winning bid<br>
is almost always a scammer, so you never end up actually selling the<br>
item. There was a guy on Consumerist a while back who complained he<br>
relisted the same laptop three times and never did manage to have a<br>
valid buyer put in the winning bid.<br>
