So yeah, I'm shopping on ebay...

I'm after a PS2, since I still can't quite afford a new one. And I keep coming across auctions that look like this one.

I'm pretty sure it's a scam, but I'm still trying to figure out how it works.

Scam

[siliconshaman.livejournal.com]

It's a scam, try going to the website above, then carefully reading their terms of service document.

They sell you an Ebook, for which you give them your credit card number. If I read it right they don't garuntee you'll get it, but you'd still have to pay for it. They can send a new Ebook to you whenever they like, for which you have to pay.
[btw, nowhere does it say how much these are.]

It's a junk mail scheme, with a twist because you're paying for it. That's leaving aside the fact that these shysters have your CC number.

The Ebay auction is just a comeon.
