"don't ever use eBay again
it is too much of a challenge for you"
- ebay agent "rumplstyltskyn" reply to seller's question

 

After running the original "EbayFrauds.com" website many years ago, I find it necessary to once again re-start.  This time, eBay appears to have hired a Cyberstalker, a.k.a. www.CSCCORPORATEDOMAINS.com, to report daily on the status of websites critical of eBay.  This company appears daily in our log files, but has since been blocked.  Perhaps they can now use a dial-up or proxy.

All of what is documented here has actually happened to our family members.  In the latest episode on February 25, 2007, a family member was libeled by an ebay agent. 

That family member is currently an associate member in good standing with the American Bar Association, and has served Pro Bono as a Federal Communications Commission Liaison Committee Member for years.

He asked for help.  (The statements appear below by "fair use")

Instead of receiving help, this ABA Member was defamed and libeled by an ebay agent, and told:

"don't ever use eBay again
it is too much of a challenge for you"

Ebay will not admit to flawed software, but ebay user "ruwinski45"
 also reported a software glitch when he viewed this item:

Asking for help in the eBay forums is like asking the the fox to guard the chicken coop.  What I find are people claiming "we are members just like you," but nothing can be farther from the truth.  When asked questions, these well-seasoned vets downplay any wrongdoing on behalf of eBay, and the originator of the thread, usually an unsuspecting buyer, is throttled into believing everything was their fault.

Many of these helpful ebay agents (click here) have very low transaction numbers, and those transactions can sometimes be traced to 35 cent purchases. Some even have several name changes in a short period.  These people are known for answering a question with a question, and go as far as LIBEL

Disputes are settled for a fee, usually in favor of the buyer.  After losing several Money Order transactions in a row, I reverted to sending checks, and keeping just enough in an account to cover purchases.

It didn't take long to be taken again.  After cashing the check I sent to pay for an auction, a seller sent an email through eBay, stating that he had not received funds, and requested that I once again send payment.

In good faith, I sent him another check on September 12.  But after looking at my checking account at Wachovia Bank, which also has online images of cashed checks, I had been taken AGAIN!  He had already cashed my check on August 29th!


Had I sent a Money Order or Cashiers Check,
It would be difficult to catch this.
