Re: Ebay scam alert...

[Joseph Tainter]

In my experience, reporting to eBay does no good. You get an initial 
burst of satisfaction followed by even greater frustration as eBay (a) 
sends you a canned response, (b) sends you a second canned response that 
is either a lie or addresses some issue you never raised, then (c) lets 
the a******e off the hook.

I reported a seller spamming me. After "investigating" eBay told me that 
his email address had been pirated. Right -- someone pirated his email 
address to advertise his auctions! When I reported him a third time, 
eBay sent me a canned response saying "Here's how to protect your 
security" -- an issue I never raised.
