Howdy, Not a drop of twang... but since you guys are addicted to that web site... eBay investigated for fraud Associated Press-- New York After vowing to combat fraud, online auction service eBay Inc. finds itself the subject of a fraud investigation being conducted by the city's Department of Consumer Affairs. The department is looking into whether people who use eBay to sell items [are] falsely label[ing] some sports memorabilia as "one-of-a-kind," a source close to the investigation told The Associated Press. Department officials confirmed the probe but refused further comment. The probe raises the question of whether eBay can be held accountable for allegedly unscrupulous sellers and how it could monitor claims made in each sale. eBay receives an average of 27 fraud complaints for every 1 million auctions, the company said. # # # Take care, Shane Rhyne Knoxville, TN [EMAIL PROTECTED]
