I really think that the dealership should just sell the guy the car. I mean, the bad publicity that this has caused the dealership, and possibly Hyundai as a company, isn't worth the $3,xxx that they would lose by selling the car.

What do you guys think?

Yeah...that's a dealership that's probably not going to be in business much longer either because this is a sample of the type of service any of their customers can expect to get or because once Hyundai finds out they're going to shut down the dealer. Whichever comes first. Either way, that dealership must be run by a grade A moron for them to be doing such stupid **** all in the name of $3,000.

Not a fan of eBay, it relies too much on trust. What's stopping this king of thing from happening all the time?

Usually it's the fact that if you pull **** like this as a seller eBay bans your account. So even if it does happen, the seller in question won't be coming back. There's also the feedback system which allows you to find out what other people's experiences have been with that seller. To be honest I trust eBay more than most random sites on the internet since with eBay I have a good idea of what to expect from a given seller and even if that deal goes sour there's several layers of protection in place to keep me from getting screwed out of my money.

You mean the seller in question won't be coming back with the same account. Has anyone ever gotten arrested over eBay fraud?

I don't think anyone has been arrested, but I know of several cases where people have been successfully sued.

I haven't used it in a long time, but I'm pretty sure that the policies that eBay and PayPal have allow them to buy and sell relying on more than trust.
