You run Bonanza? Cool, I have a bill for you.

2 years ago I caught a lady selling handbags (that she didn't really have) from your site. I caught her because she was having people pay through an account with our service (nextproof.com).

Guess who had to eat the chargeback fees? I did

Guess who had to call other people, inform them the handbag they ordered as a Christmas gift was bogus, then listen to them cry? I did

All that to say, if you (or anyone else) has a successful marketplace, shady folks will swarm to you and you will have no choice but to figure out buyer and seller protection policies.

Wow. It never occurred to me that when you provide a service like that, someone could use it to literally ruin Christmas.

That is heavy.

Don't make critical purchases from random people on the Internet? We should never blame the victim, nevertheless everyone should be thaught a basic level of "Internet street smarts".
