Mary, Rob has joined the boycott and this is his statement. Guess maybe the logo won't apply!

I posted a call to arms over on the SRG board last evening - it is in the thread on Italy getting their SIS back.  I called my fellow sellers there chicken wombat poo poo if they did not participate.

Way to go, Rob!!

Well, Dirty, I followed your fun suggestion and mailed the suspension notice to spoof@ebay.com.
This is their reply:

Hello,

Thank you for writing to eBay regarding the email you received.

Emails such as this, commonly referred to as "spoof" or "phished"
messages, are sent in an attempt to collect sensitive personal or
financial information from the recipients.

The email you reported was not sent by eBay. We have reported this email
to the appropriate authorities.

In the future, be very cautious of any email that asks you to submit
information such as your credit card numbers or passwords. If you are
ever concerned about an email you receive from eBay, simply follow these
steps:

1. Open a new Web browser and type www.ebay.com into your browser
address field to go directly to the eBay site.

2. On eBay, click on the "My eBay" link at the top of the page and sign
into your account.

3. Check the "My Messages" link located on the left side of the My eBay
page. If an email affects your eBay account, it's now in "My Messages."
Any email sent to your registered eBay email address from eBay or from
another eBay member via eBay's member-to-member communication system
will also appear in "My Messages."

Just remember, if you get an email regarding a problem with your account
or that is requesting personal information, and the email looks like it
is from eBay, please check My Messages first. If it's not there, it's a
fake email.

If you still have any doubt about whether an email message is from eBay,
please forward it to spoof@ebay.com immediately. Do not respond to it or
click any of the links. Do not remove the original subject line or
change the email in any way when you forward it to eBay.

If you have already entered sensitive personal information, financial
information, or your password into a Web site based on a request from a
spoofed email, you should take immediate action to protect your identity
and all of your online accounts. We have developed an eBay Help page
with valuable information regarding the steps you should take to protect
yourself.

http://pages.ebay.com/help/tp/isgw-accou...rting.html

To review eBay's new tutorial about Spoof Emails, please see the
following Web page:

http://pages.ebay.com/education/spooftutorial/

To help you better protect yourself from fake eBay and PayPal Web sites,
we have developed a feature for the eBay Toolbar called "Account Guard."
Account Guard includes an indicator of when you are on an eBay or PayPal
Web site or a known spoof (or "phishing") site, buttons to report fake
eBay Web sites, and a password notification feature that warns you when
you may be entering your eBay password on an unverified site.

To learn more about the eBay Toolbar with Account Guard, please go to
www.ebay.com, click on "Downloads" at the bottom of the page, and then
click on the "eBay Toolbar" link.

We also recommend that you keep your browser, operating system, and
virus protection software up to date. Check for updates at the "Windows
Update" link on www.microsoft.com and scan your computer for viruses
often.

Once again, thank you for alerting us to the spoof email you received.
Your efforts help keep eBay a safe and fair place to trade.

Regards,

Ande

Gee, do ya think this means that I can go back to posting on the boards?????

Quote:Gee, do ya think this means that I can go back to posting on the boards?

It just means what we all knew: they don't read any of our emails or forwards. Jackasses.

Amazingly, only one person at SRG took offense to my posting my call to arms.  She referred to it as mob mentality and was quite surprised at such a post within the discussion.  I politely told her we would just have to agree to disagree. 

The audio of the 1 Aug investors call is what has really gotten me all riled up.  It's like Meg has turned into a dictator.  If the changes they implement later this month don't work to their satisfaction, I expect to hear Meg say to Bill next quarter, "off with their heads!"

Abbey, I think it's great that you were able to do what you did. I am also quite sure I know who the holdout was. :blinkie:

Meg really needs to be replaced, along with many of her outrageous policies.

So Amy, do ya think that T&S would qualify for the "Boinktard of the Week" award?

The only job requirements for spoof are a lobotomy and electroshock.
