I tend to do quite a bit of shopping on eBay, and while I’ve never had the misfortune of being scammed, I’ve heard quite a few horror stories. eBay doesn’t offer a way to filter out fraudulent auctions, but you can spot them with a service called Gumshoo. With Gumshoo, you can avoid yourself a lot of hassle, and even find some good deals since the service also searches for misspelled auctions which generally lead to lower priced items. The service is completely free, and probably a good research tool for eBay fans.
