Well, I sent a letter to this org, since on the mat company's website it listed this org and its seal. Took too many days (4), but thought this was a pretty good (though non-committal) response:
Thank you for contacting SquareTrade. The user is NOT a legitimate seal member. For future reference, you can go to www.squaretrade.com, click on the Buyer Services tab and enter their eBay ID in the text box labeled Verify eBay Sellers to know if the user is SquareTrade verified. Please be aware that SquareTrade is NOT an escrow service. We will NEVER hold money on behalf of an auction. If you have additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
