Here ya go. Ebay has been caught in so many lies about their crappy security it is not funny. Anyone remember that thing about the credit card numbers getting posted on the Trust & Safety forum on 9-25-2007?
They lied through their teeth and tried to cover it all up.
They also threatened, intimidated, and blackballed websites that had dared to post the facts about them being hacked.

What about the massive hack & hijacking attacks all summer long?
Looky here:

60 thousand fake items! They tried to cover all that up too. They pulled threads about it warning people in record time, while the fake listings stayed up forever, and kept coming.
Simply put, ebay is hacked. Ebay is dishonest. ebay has been caught too many times in too many falsehoods to ever be trusted by any reasonable person again.
Let me also remind everyone that ebay is sending bills to the hijack victims, & trying some strongarm tactics to make the victims pay.

To top everything off, the ebay execs have been dumping their own stock like there is no tomorrow.
I agree. Are they then going to China to stop counterfeits of all types? What about all the scammers in the USA?
If ebay was serious, they would require proper registration at the gate. They would disallow user generated content which contain active scripting formats, and they would completely do away with html based emails which contain links, and 'second chance offers'. They would quit depending solely on the 'community' to police the site (READ: FREELOADING).
This is nothing but feeble PR spin, which borders on racism. Simple as that, & they know it. ebay is fraught with troubles of all sorts, & trying desperately to help their sagging image.
The fact is, they try a lot harder to conceal the fraud rather than fix the real problems.
They have been caught covering up & spewing falsehoods over this entire hacking & Vladuz situation over & again.
Back in the summer of '07, around late June-early July they had a similar PR stunt.
"eBay cracks down on Romanian fraudsters"

After that, the hackers UNLOADED on ebay bigtime! We started to see 10s of thousands of fake listings on hijacked accounts rather than just dozens or hundreds. Anyone ever heard of jimmy.cry?
