Hi All, I too have purchased many things for my photography habit from ebay quite successfully. However, early in the game I was a victim of a fraud for about $1000 involving my attempt to purchase a camera from what appeared to be a very well respected long time seller. That seller had his ebay account hacked into by an international ring of thieves. They used his reputation and id for support and I was asked to wire them the money via a wire service. Thinking them to be legitimate I complied. They took the money and I never got the camera. Later I found an item on ebay telling us all not to purchase this kind of camera this way because of the fraud potential. It did not prevent me from continuing to buy on ebay.it just made me very cautious about each transaction. Thanks to all for your posts in general. Your generosity with your knowledge is most appreciated by one who is just now learning how to work with black and white digitally to produce fine images.

We no longer use PayPal nor Ebay as we actually experienced the problem that Ken was uncomfortable with. Someone hacked our Paypal account to 'charge' thousands of dollars of photo equipment purchases, ostensibly through Ebay. It was pure providence that my wife checked our PayPal account on the morning this activity was taking place. We deactivated our bank account and limited the loss. Be careful out there, JimD [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Please visit the Group Homepage to check the Files, and other resources as they are often being updated. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint If you wish to receive no emails or just a daily digest, or you wish to unsubscribe, please edit your Membership preferences by visiting this same page.
