E-bay Fraud


Every now and then we get cases involving EBay fraud. Usually the ones I see involve somebody getting suckered into sending money outside of the normal e-bay security processes. I think the biggest problem with EBay is not the fraudulent transactions, but what a giant timesuck that it is, and that it causes people to buy stuff that they don't really need and wouldn't buy otherwise. (I could say the same thing for COSTCO and the HOME SHOPPING NETWORK.)

Here's a link to an MSNBC story on an EBay scammer.

Blogger Toolbar

I installed the google 2.0 toolbar - it has the option to link to Blogger.com. There's now a spell checker - a needed addition.
