For a few days I participated in an EBay auction for a front and rear Hayabusa seat. I ended up losing but since I didn't really need them, I didn't really worry about it.
The auction ended last night and when I checked my account today I noticed I had a message from EBay:
<div class="iF-Passage"><div class="QUOTEHEAD">Quote:[/Quote]<div class="QUOTE clearfix"><span class="quoteBegin"> </span>
The following is a notice from eBay Trust & Safety regarding:
Item Number - 110211097199

Transactions for items listed on eBay but then completed off of the eBay platform are not covered by buyer protection programs offered by eBay and can be highly indicative of fraud.

2. Stop payment with your bank if you paid by check.
3. Contact the Security Department of your credit card company to file a chargeback if you paid via credit card.

I hope the winner of the auction doesn't get screwed.
