Don't know what is happening on other sites but if someone posted a listing here for a price and then referred me to go to an ebay listing and bid on it, I'd simply tell him to stick it. Then I'd report him for abuse, at that point it would be up to the "OWNER" of that site to deal with him/her on the violation. If the "OWNER" of that site sees no wrong then that's their business since he/her owns the site and just like here can do with it what they want. All others are just members and have no control of what goes on.
I've had no problems with ebay or PayPal Cheesy, in fact any issues I've had and I have had a few were promptly dealt with by PayPal and my money returned to me. Granted I do have an account and credit card through PayPal plus a Power Seller account with ebay but even before that had no issues getting refunded by Paypal.
