As some of you might know, quite a few people have been scammed lately on eBay, buying hard to find polishes from a certain seller. Being one of the scammed people myself, I feel the least I can do is share the findings of a clever fellow MUAer, who found out the scammer's identity:

"A brilliant detective followed a paypal trail that led us straight to her. It all matches up. The name, the e-mail address. The person who scammed several of us out of lot of money for bottles of Starry Starry Night and DS Glamour also used the same paypal account to collect payments from selling her polish to other nail boarders. That's how we connected the dots. Not only is she a regular poster, but she's also a blogger.
I am disgusted. Absolutely disgusted. How could you ManateeMama? How could you? I'd really like to see you dig yourself out of this hole, because it is deep. I have forwarded e-mails that prove the paypal accounts are one and the same. You need to fix everything and make it right, refund everyone's money. Face your mistake. And I do hope that everyone can see this post before it gets deleted, because I'm sure it will. I want everyone to know what you did to us."
It's sad that it had to come to this.. a big thank you to MissHavisham for sharing. I will end my post now before I start saying things I might regret..

Oh my! Shocked to see one my favorite blogger's name as a scammer! Could you also tell what the scam is about? She received the money but did not send the polishes? And the ebay seller name to prevent us from getting scammed too?
Thank you for putting it so politely too...
OMG! I'm so so sorry to hear that!
and a blogger as well?! Shame on her then!
A big hugz to you!
I hope you've reported the incident and would be able to get your money back in some way
