Anybody try the "Live Help". I'm not interested in this car, but have used this with others that were suspicious and eBay looked into it and had illegitimate auctions pulled.

Did anyone see that CNBC special on E-bay about a week ago?. Very interesting. They put E-bay in a favorable light for the majority of the show but did show a few cases of people getting royally screwed and E-bay did next to nothing to help them.
