ebaY sellers left to fend for themselves


Sad but true.
There are reports all over the ebaY community about hijackings being too slowly removed. They must be terribly overworked, (and demoralized?) or else perhaps they follow a variant on the wisdom of Homer.

 Here are some examples. There are more, which I shall post as I find them in my files.

I did of course scroll down through this, and found no indication that the seller revised the description. We have already seen examples o' plenty of the hijackers inserting multiple revisions.

So Sad! So verrrry sad...

OK this stuck out, so I started grabbing screencaps.
Pretty obvious this was noticed and reported.

Must be nice to drag your heels while others are going through untold stress and gaawd only knows what else...ID Theft, being billed for the listings, negs from bidders, whatever...

Went on to get the body. Gee the hackers have a nice layout, yes?

By the time I got back to the main page, I notice a bid. Note the times encoded in the screencap titles are all Pacific time, look at the intervals here. (oops, I notice the image shack munges the times when I added the alpha-titles, this all occurred within about 5 minutes, from 2007-03-28, 08_15_15, til  2007-03-28, 08_18_18, actually around 3-4 minutes)

Note the bidders name.

This is only one of THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of hijacked listings every day.

Is this ebaYs idea of being

"The World's Online Marketplace®, enabling trade on a local, national and international basis. With a diverse and passionate community of individuals and small businesses, eBay offers an online platform where millions of items are traded each day."

BWHAHAHAHA ebay!


YOU LOSERS!!!!

Your website is like a submarine with a screen door!

Chumps!

LMAO!!!

I sure hope all the folks affected all try and get together and launch a MASSIVE lawsuit against ebaY.

Clearly, they are not taking action to secure their website, nor protect their members, or the casual surfer.

Lookie here. I smiled today after all

UNBELIEVABLE IDIOTS!!!

IMO I think ebay is dragging their feet to fix this because they are making money from this. How many sellers actually sit down and figure up how much their ebay bill is each month? Most would not notice the extra fees charged and never dispute them. Ebay is probably laughing all the way to the bank on this one.

IMO this is also an inside job set up for the exact reasons above. It certainly will not hurt their next quarter profits.

No one values your opinion, that's why you've been banned from posting on the Paypal board for a week.

Of course you are exactly correct Dan, and everyone knows IT, including ebaY.

But they fear the TRUTH.

They LOVE the LIES.

That is one thing they will NEVER, EVER have on their side is the TRUTH.

If they cannot lie their way around IT, or over IT, or under IT, then they ban, delete ,

or intimidate.

Did you see they banned Firemeg for one whole month? They really fear firemeg. Each and every question asked at that sham of a town hall thread was verrrry valid, by firemeg, and tonnes of others too.

The ambience over there on their own "trust and safety" board is turning into mostly sneering sarcasm and bitterness if you cannot tell. They have alienated some of their most ardent supporters.

Did you listen and hear how many of those concerns were addressed in the "official" town hall for 29-03-07?
What a crock.

That is what I like about Vladuz for instance.

No matter what, at least he TELLS THE TRUTH.

unlike ebaY;
No matter what, THEY LIE.

They LIE sooo much, they need an entire company of miscreants to help spread the falsehoods.

And that company is not known as "truthworld".

The monkeys will keep dancing the monkey dance, believe me.

Maybe the organ grinder will crank faster.


 

Oh, just an aside, I just happened to catch a bit of a TV show on The History Channel yesterday early evening. It was about Vampires. They said that in modern Romainia, Vlad Dracul is regarded not as a villian, rather, as a Hero, "Much like Robin Hood"

Hilarious!!!

I missed the town hall comedy special. Did they happen to answer the question I asked on the town hall board. For those who missed it, here it is again:

Is Meg Whitman a man or woman? Kind of hard to tell from pictures.

Did we get a clear answer on this?

townhall-archives

90 minutes total, I did not listen to the whole thing.

It was just a lot of song and dance as usual.

More Kool-Aid Please!!!

It may be on text somewhere, but I understand the last townehall meeting was only posted within the last couple days

(good place for a mixed metaphor come to think of it;)

A few more April Fool's Day @ ebaY memories!

Disney related hijackings seem the hot topic all of a sudden.
Oh, the joy! Getting scammed out of your family vacation and who knows what else?

Good question.

What does happen when mickey gets p!$$ed off?

Because somewhere down the road, Disney will be hearing about all the Disney scams on ebaY and move to protect their customers.

Might be a good place to bring more awareness to this situation.

Anyways, here is a snippet from a couple days back
