That is true. Here we seem to have a decent honor system to not raise it much at a time, since we got rid of auctions. But on there anything goes. :0
Yeah Ebay is like some seedy corner night club, you've got the "inviters" in tight tops and short skirts beckoning strangers to come inside and once you're inside, prepared to have your wallet molested and gaped by the dealers inside.
If you're lucky you may exit the establishment with still your shorts attached to your buttocks but don't tell anyone what happened to you inside that place
