I just noticed that some on that thread are concluding it's *site interference*.  Same thing we're thinking, I guess....  Kinda a no-brainer, now that you think about it.

Re: eBay Profits from Mass Fraud by Unverified Chinese BIN Bandit Bidders
Well it is site interference and ebay is well aware of it.

But as usual ebay does little to nothing about it
and tries real hard to shove it under the rug.

eBay has the back end capability to see what is going on,
who is being targeted and probably how to stop it.

You see... They are profiting from it short term so why bother.

Either that or ebay has no real security at all and it has all been nothing but lies.
(That wouldn't surprise me).

Notice the legal due keeps telling everyone to stop it
"just use immediate PP payment" (Which of course means you have
to have a biz pp account).

So it is anybody's guess who is doing the sabotage.

ebay themselves could be doing it in an attempt to get more sellers to take PP
seeing as their numbers are so upside down and getting worst every quarter.

Just like spoof e mails.
ebay could be generating some of those as well to "justify" and implement
a way of taking away any outside of ebay e mails.

Or like some of the stupidest items we see from time to
time up for auction that get the presses attention.

Could be ebay doing those as well for FREE press.

Personally I think the bay is at the wrong end of a rope
and are trying anything
and everything to squeak by quarter after quarter because they
do KNOW that site traffic and revenues from sellers are down.

It would'nt surprise me a bit if down the line we all found out that all those "numbers"
they report have been padded. Just like Enron.

Quote:You know what screams out at me about this?  What better way to cause your #1 competitor a lot of grief, fortune and bad press?  My guess is that alibaba, or taobao or whatever the right name is, is behind all of it.  Would be pretty easy to pay a few folks to mess with USA auctions to create a turmoil and bring ebay down financially and publicly via bad press and bad ethics charges.

Messing with eBay.com auctions wouldn't help Taobao because it doesn't have any effect on buyers and sellers on the eBay China site or on the Chinese press.  If Taobao was behind it they'd be hitting eBay China auctions.

They prolly are.  Perhaps in different ways.  We just wouldn't hear about it over here.

Bottom line:

If eBay wasn't so lax about member verification and such... it wouldn't be a problem.

Update:
eBay NARU my Xppman ID.  Maybe eBay is starting to verify members.  lol

Disappearing is so typical of Ebay.

eBay Sellers Targeted Again By Mass Fraudulent Bidding as Meg sits on her Ass
I thought eBay had software in place to prevent someone from placing 2500 bids in 4 hours.  Is eBay Trust & Safety VP Rob Chestnut just a Lieing Sack of Sh.IT Bastard?  Smile

Quote:On June 29, 2006, a user ID was stolen and someone using it placed bids on 102 pages of items and won them all. Probably used some kind of computer program to place bids. I contacted the legitimate owner of the ID and she contacted EBAY T & S. Whoever stole this ID evidently bid on everything ending during a two hour time period starting around 1600 hours and ending around 2000 hours

1 bidder, 4 hours of bidding, over 1400 sellers hit

Quote:2538 items
$116,000
sellers hit: 1415
seller worst hit: 104 items from one seller
avg item: $45.85
highest item: $990
1300 were under $10

Another thread about the problem:

http://forums.ebay.com/db2/thread.jspa?t...1000294504&tstart=0

This problem has been going on for months now and eBay has done nothing--except rake in extra FVF fees...
