I have noticed lately that there are certain sets that fraudsters tend to pick for sale on eBay. One of these has been the Technic 8258. They usually list a few of these sets for auction over 2 or 4 days and walla! the next message is the one you get from Paypal Fraud prevention department informing you that your bid has been cancelled due to undisclosed reason. I've had this happen to me with this particular set about 8 - 10 times already and I can almost tell when its a dud listing now but that doesn't stop me from bidding on these lol! I'm wondering if anyone has come across other similar common sets / cases?
