Selling Online - Scammers Making It Too Difficult?

Selling products on eBay, your own website or other auction sites used to be one of the best ways to make money online, however things have changed in the past few years. It seems foreign scammers have quite a solid grip on the market, and they're quick to con inexperienced sellers into sending high priced electronics and other in demand products to Nigeria and Indonesia, never to be seen again.

Their cons have gone from sending phishing emails, to convincing unsuspecting sellers with a sob story and how they need a high priced camera or ****** shipped by super ultra extra fast express mail to some hole in the wall, in Africa, to sending almost exact replicas of payment processor emails convincing people that they have paid for a product when, in fact, they haven't.

We would like to get a thread going about this issue, what do you think auction sites like eBay should do about the scammer problem?? Do you think scammers can truly ruin the online buying & selling experience ??
