eBay Slammed Over Levels of Fraud

Posted by Zonk on Friday December 16, 2005 @01:55AM from the more-oversight-would-kill-the-mmog-market dept.

Dynamoo writes "The BBC is reporting that companies and law enforcement agencies are becoming increasing frustrated and concerned at the high amount of fraud at eBay. There are reports that it can take two months for eBay to pass details to fraud investigators, and that even for companies with a 'special relationship' with eBay it can take 5 days for fraudulent auctions to be shut down. From the article: 'With all the amount of profits that eBay makes, then there is ample scope for additional staff. Frankly, it is totally unsatisfactory.'"

Hey hey.....eBay can't take all the blame...don't forget about their equally scummy subsidiary PayPal!

And yesterday I still had mod points. Sorry!!

Good to lead this from a buyer-seller confrontation into a much correcter bad-guy vs. good-guy discussion.
