I have over 500 positive feedback on ebay, much from buying and selling
high-end photographic equipment. Only one time did someone try to scam me.

Ebay is quite safe if you are careful.

I agree. I was just attempting information for those with no/or lesser
transactions.

What was nice was that with my paypal receipt, Dell was/is willing to
un-flag the system so that I might own it cleanly. The bad part is that the
remaining Dell warranty (over 2 years gold/complete care) was transferred to
the (new) exchanged unit so this one now has none.

Dell did offer to sell the equivalent warranty to me, but that would likely
cost another $200-$300 dollars defeating the purpose of winning the auction
at a good to very good price for the model with warranty.

As I said, I'll modify verification in the future. DFS systems and auctions
I've won have been problem-free, so I don't feel the need to check behind
them.
