    The truth is, eBay's site is not safe with any of your information. Anyone that is talented with hacking can get through the system. Someone gained access to my account back in January and racked up over $700.00 in eBay fees posting frivolous auctions and eBay still stuck me with the bill!

    I know these are isolated cases but it certainly does happen and eBay won't care when it does. They do nothing in the way of preventing fraud, they're just a venue, as they say. A venue that takes your money and sits behind a computer doing nothing is more honest.

    Oh yea Bucko? I came home one day to find that I had been NARU'ed. Ebay notified me that someone had hijacked my account and posted a bunch of phony sales. They had already deleted the phony listings. The next day I changed my account info and was up and running again. They had identified the problem and solved it before I ever knew that there was a problem.

    Good for you abuell. I'm sure your situation was quite different from mine.

    Come on Pat. How many years is it going to take for you to learn how to post a link that doesn't boot you off the main site when you close it?

    Screaming memmies-now there's a term I haven't heard used in quite a while.

    Wouldn't there be a little bell next to his name if it had been changed in the last 30 day?
