(This is why I dont do anything on Ebay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

It's the most used online auction site in the world... but not everyone selling items has honest intentions. Tonight, police say a Kentucky man is proving that point.
Whether its pencils or Post-its..diamonds or denalis.. you can buy it on eBay.

People from all over the world sell on ebay..like Thomas Powell of Maysville, Kentucky.

"He was selling high end items..musical instruments..rolex watches," said Detective Ken Fuller with the Maysville Police Department.

Police also say he was getting paid thousands for them..for items he never had.

"He was basically getting the money and then never sending out the item," said Detective Fuller.

Police say he conned at least 4 people out of nearly $10,000. Investigators say he even went to great lengths to mislead buyers that he was legit.

"He made up a fake store..with a fake address that doesn't exist," said Fuller.

Fuller says he lived in federal housing, drives a taxi, and that he isn't wealthy at all.

Police tell 27 NEWSFIRST Powell was wiring the money from sales to people across the globe and is a smaller part in a larger scam.

Police were tipped off to Powell earlier this month when someone he's accused of scamming in Florida called.

Police arrested Powell Tuesday and he faces felony charges which could keep him in prison for several years.
