Having problems with message search?
As we have learned in the last year since we started this forum, due to the vagaries of the internet and the power of ebay's money and inability to contact them, even as a group we cannot get together the money and legal muscle to fight them. The only thing we can do is to boycott ebay, and this will only work if we spread the word and get everyone we can to boycott them as well--otherwise they will never feel the loss.It will take an awfully large number of people to leave ebay--sellers and buyers--for them to notice. We need to encourage people to look elsewhere for bargains, especially since ebay is no longer a bargain location. Sellers aren't stupid, and experienced sellers know how to manage auctions that are not only profitable but usually more than you can buy for the item for elsewhere. Other auction sites offer auctions for specialty items. Add the (very) hefty shipping and handling which is more than common on ebay and you are generally over paying significantly on ebay. Just say no!

I totally agree - I spent so much time tracking down my $225.00 that I lost to no avail. It's not worth the couple of dollars saved to risk the lose. Ebay does nothing about it, absolutely nothing. They were so difficult to deal with.

Ebay wont help you, I have sent them so many fraud reports in the past three months I have now decided to close my account. both ebay and paypal are really not worth th bother as you can find most of the stuff there cheaper elaewhere if you look and without going thr8gh a silly bidding process which is often fixed..

I have had my second victimization on eBay. The first was my getting
a deal too good to be true. This happened about a year ago. I went
through all of the legal process and nothing happened. The overall
attitude was "when enough people complain, then maybe some action will
occur to remedy the situation or look for the perpetrators. Just this
past weekend I had my msn account and my eBay identity stolen. eBay
didn't catch it until the winner sent them an email asking some
questions about the seller. I was actually talked with an eBay
representative on Monday night and they were telling me how to protect
my accounts. Aren't they responsible for some of this happening? On
Monday evening I finally got into my msn account and discovered all of
this. I emailed all of the people who had been communicating with me
and told them about the fraud. The seller actually was trying to sale
this item to two other people besides the individual who had won the
auction. He said that he had removed the item when he found out the
buyer was a fraud and was offering it to others on a second chance.
I am reporting all of this again to the legal authorities, but know
nothing will happen.
Thanks for a forum to complain on. I want to get these hacks. I have
a nephew who is quite computer savvy. I think I am going to give him
all of the emails to mess with.
