I have to admit to also spending too much time wandering through Ebay, especially Mercedes for sale. I watched a nice looking 500E sell at a fairly low price. Then I noticed the 3rd time it sold, it was bought by the same person who bought it the first time. "Hmmm", I said. "It seems the seller may not be above board. Maybe he gets a little help from his friends using various Ebay IDs." After that, I noticed some similar situations with other Merz that didn't sell etc. Last month I briefly heard a TV news story about how Ebay caught several sellers bidding up the price and how they would not tolerate this. From what I had heard about Ebay, I thought it might be one of the few times they side with the customer and not the seller.

I have also seen on this forum some very good reports regarding purchases of Merz on Ebay.. so if I buy anything through them I hope to take all the precautions necessary to have a good experience.
