Now, i couldn't be bothered reading every single word of that, but I understand the gist of it is:

Someone selling something, suspects a scam, gets others to chip in to send a moody parcel, which the recipient ends up paying quite a lot for? This all takes up a lot of time, and effort.

Is that not, in itself, fraud?

Whilst I have little sympathy for the 'scammers', if that is in fact what they are, I can't help thinking, 'what a waste of time and effort'! Why not, if you suspect something, just say 'pay money into PayPal etc, or you is no gets parcel'? Or just tell the person to get ****ed, and save yourself the hassle?

Could be, that the seller has broken the law worse than the 'scammer'.

Am I missing something here?

Maybe he's a Student / STW user with far too much time on his hands

The 'buyer' paid nothing to the seller & received something worth nothing in return, sounds like a fair deal to me
