I agree wholeheartedly that ebay should be doing more to stop the scams. However, it is the companies decision to make their own descisions however smart or stupid.
I would appreciate it if ebay had moderators, but just because they don't, does that really mean the users should be shutting down auctions?
All I can say is, I hope this isn't something other countries start getting into. First there's the competition to build the worlds largest skyscraper...
now we can have a competition to build the world's largest scale model of the solar system!
When you take a class about computer crime, the frist thing they teach you is that you don't crack codes by doing computer work, you crack codes by social engineering. Same goes for most other security breaches.
There's obviously a place for both, but the point is that all the computer restrictions in the world won't make sensitive systems secure, as long as there are people who work there.
