Re: Cheap alpha
I fell for a scam five years ago where I paid for an item using PayPal and the company did not deliver. (The purchase was not initiated on eBay, but through a forum.) In their defence, I have spoken to others that bought from them in the past, but around the time that I made my purchase, the company went bankrupt.
The morale of the story -- this one, not mine -- is that if you see something on eBay, purchase through eBay. If someone asks you to submit payment outside of eBay, you are on your own if the deal goes bad.
