O.K. Well first let me say that this is all hypothetical, and I would never actually advise anyone to try doing it!
However, if you did want to get back at someone who had ripped you off, then this is the coolest way!
1/Firstly, you need to pick an auction that finishes shortly before the monthly billing cut off date.
2/Next, you and a friend need to set up new user accounts.
3/Just before the auction ends (Last minute if possible, so there is no time to cancel the bids) You both bid a HUGE amount!
4/The auction ends, the monthly bill is deducted from the sellers creditcard, and he has to pay the final fee on a $15,000 sale (Or whatever it was)
5/He has to claim that final credit back from ebay if you dont pay for the item (Which of course you wont) However first he has to wait seven days before he can send out a "Non-paying bidder alert" and another 10 days before he can claim the credit!
6/This all adds up to 17 days of hell, especially if it has "Maxxed out" his creditcard!
Now nobody would ever do such an awful thing! But if they did, they should be aware that the accounts used would be suspended!
But hey, what can you do? Its so easy to type in the wrong amount! Especially when you're new to these online auctions!
He,He!
