Regarding ebay, I think their attitude is that if you step out of their auction format to make a deal, it's your problem if it's a scam. I ran into this 3 years ago, and when I was sure it was a scam, I tried to get ebay to do something. They seemed to care less about it. It's almost impossible to reach a human at ebay, and it seems like they pretend to care about scams, but it's smoke and mirrors. If someone has found an alternative to ebay, I'd love to hear about it.
