Teen fraudster sentenced

UK 18-year-old Phillip Shortman has been sentenced to 12 months' detention and training for defrauding more than 100 eBay customers of $85,000, CNET reports. He did so by selling them goods he didn't have and demanding cash up front. So tell anyone who uses eBay at your house to be on the alert for seller terms like that. "EBay recommends that customers pay by credit card or by PayPal," according to CNET. "It also offers a buyer protection program."
