eBay (aka “the eBafia”) is demonstrably a totally unscrupulous criminal organization!
How could that be, you ask? Well, with much effort and some multi-auction analysis, it can be very clearly demonstrated (see the following link) that shill bidding fraud by unscrupulous professional sellers on nominal-start auctions, is rampant on eBay auctions, and the executives “in the know” at eBay, unless they are actually even more naive than they apparently think all we simple consumers are, cannot but be aware of that criminal activity.
And, if they claim to be not so aware, then I am making them aware of it here and now. And, of course they will say they are not aware, because they do not want to be aware, because if they admit that they are aware of such criminal activity (which they cannot but be, and from which they are profiting), and they do nothing effective about it (which they don’t), then they are guilty of the crime of “criminal facilitation”. It’s as simple as that!
And, it can also be demonstrated that, contrary to their claims, they do not do anything proactive nor truly effective to prevent such criminal activity. Indeed, they have done the very opposite, during the second half of 2008 eBay introduced anonymous non-unique masking of bidding IDs, which serve no logical purpose other than to deliberately further obscure such criminal activity and aid and abet said criminal shill-bidding sellers to maximize their sale prices, thus maximizing eBay’s final valuation fee (FVF).
It’s even worse in the UK, where the form of bidder masking makes it simply impossible for buyers to detect the unscrupulous, sophisticated shill-bidding professional sellers that undoubtedly now infest eBay UK auctions. Needless to say sales by auction on the UK site have collapsed to a fraction of what they used to be.
Is it any wonder then that, relatively speaking, buyers are staying away, and eBay’s marketplace business, the world over, is still going down the toilet?
Then, don’t ever forget that to have any chance of understanding anything that eBay says you have to reverse the meaning of what they say a random number of times; only then might you have a still less than 50% chance of knowing what they actually mean by what they have said.
I don’t get it. Such use simply directs people to a site and ultimately a correct spelling. This sounds like someone looking for a way to be a victim.
But, I am open minded enough to listen to why this is harmful.

It is about time that some competent authority in the US shone a really bright light under this slimy rock.

How do you describe being “hometowned” in French?
