Webuser Forums: %$£&%£$ Ebay! I quit!

Baz, eBay will miss the 'Baz Slap'.

I can understand the issue as it happened to me a while ago, fortunately I could pinpoint the reason - some skank email I had that stupidly I replied to THEN found out it wasn't in My Messages in eBay.

Sitting on the fence, I did find eBay terrific in dealing with it. The idiot who did my account used it to send sales emails out.

The other issue I had was someone in China who set up phoney accounts, bought items off me and other sellers and when we sent the standard Invoice, they used that to get our email addresses. Chinese wholesalers for two weeks!!

At the end of day someone determined and with a bent mind CAN probably crack most accounts. No matter what your password, they will get through. How widespread it is is hard to tell - I get one or two sales every six months where the buyer denies all knowledge of it. However I can pretty much guarantee that 90% of those are having a laugh and trying to get off paying.

In this case you would hope that from the listings they can find the trout, but as usual 'privacy' will forbid you to find out.

I agree they need to get better security, but what and how?
