I would not touch this auction with a ten-foot pole. Especially with the seller's poor feedback...

Oh yeah, obviously every one of these is a scam.

You were bidding for tickets with numbers on them. The person with the winning ticket number will get the Michael Crabtree auto card. It was like $2 for a ticket.

So, It was a Lottery, which is illegal on ebay.

illegal how?.... ebay illegal...

In many states, only non-profit organizations (including New York) can run a raffle (which is what this was). For profit companies or individuals that run raffles must donate 100% of funds collected to a non-profit organization or it's illegal.

I actually scrolled past this yesterday and was thinking about posting a thread about it like you did. haha.
I was thinking that even if this was legal, you would be dumb to buy a spot. This would be to easy to rig and this guy is making $200! He was charging $2 and you still only had 1% chance of winning.
