Get a lot of people crawling through the Internet wires to steal stuff from you, do you?
I don't doubt there's plenty of ways to scam sellers -- my cousin accepted an overseas check and immediately shipped her laptop to Nigeria...really -- but I have no idea why eBay should be singled out over--well, any other possible way to buy and sell stuff. We used to get scammed and outright robbed all the time when I worked in brick and mortar retail.
For myself, the worst I've had to suffer is a non-baying bidder, and eBay returned my listing fee in that instance.
