This really get's up my nose. I email eBay's safe harbor department all the time sending the URLs of SO OBVIOUS SCAM auctions that have items posted that cost over $3000-$4000, asking like $800 only if you buy through their special email address as they do not respond t their official eBay address. I established a dialog via email with one and pretended I wanted to buy, they only accept Western Union a non reversable Payment meathod, and when I agreed finally to pay Cash and Pick the item up as I purposly chose a seller who was close to me, they said they were in Europe and could not accept a pick up delivery. By the way I did this a few times.
Man this is so easy to find if you write a piece of code to scan auctions, looking for embedded email addresses or web sites (which is not allowed by eBay by the way) but they do NOTHING. These auctions are up for at lease 3 days to a week. Maybe after about 6 emails from me they finally do something. But they are as proactive about this stuff as a used soap dish.
Check out Laptops..... take a look a search of T43P and check the ones that are $1 starting bid. I have given up. I am looking for a T43 but would NEVER get one from eBay.
Off Soap Box.
