it's cute when sellers say they have a 'no return policy'. Ebay will force a refund to the buyer whether the buyer returns the item or not. Personally, i'd rather have the item back.

And he's selling it 'as is'......for $13 grand. Is this April Fools come early?
i never met an airplane i didn't like...

It's quite possible that some Ebay auctions/ buy it now listings are being used as methods to launder money by some individuals

That's interesting. So what does he do, buy it himself with another ID? That would be pretty easy to trace by authorities. Ebay sellers, indeed all online sellers, are nowhere near as anonymous as they used to be.

So from what I have seen It's not as common as it used to be due to eBay and Paypal getting a lot stricter on how they run their operations, however, it is still an occurrence on the website. you are more likely to see a money laundering operation probably on facebook marketplace or some other Buy Sell Trade app
