Should I scam the scammers?

This has been one of my biggest complaints about ebay since I first started buying (around 1998?). They only care about getting their fees, and they eliminated only way to cut them off from income when they bought PayPal. They don't care about individual buyers/sellers. They will only pay attention to a call/email from a large business or an important law enforcement officer with the direct phone number to ebay corporate security office.

Edit: is there a way to get a UPS account so you can generate a tracking number but not have them charge you until it has been picked up?

This is not true at all. When I first spotted this scam, the buyer account had something like 300 + feedback in just a couple of weeks. Now ebay is managing to stop them before they reach 100. Perhaps you forgot about the old days when 100s of scammy apple sales would launch at a time and stayed listed for several hours. You seem to think that it is easy to stop this activity - it is not. Not without a magic wand.

They do actually work to try to keep ebay safe - if EVERYONE thought as you do, they would have no biz at all. Every item that catch these guys and cut off the account, ebay losses money.

And I have a UPS account, but the minimum cost is at least $6 - first class is under $2. UPS never charges until it's delivered - not sure how this might be effective.
