It’s been some time since i have blogged on this site but thought this story was worth blogging about.

eBay is so pro-buyer that they will toss any seller under the bus!

I have been following this story since a colleague sent me a video link on YouTube.  That video is below. It deals with eBay’s continuing forum censorship where eBay members are sanctioned, and even suspended from eBay for voicing their opinion about a bad eBay transaction.

I got a notification that this eBay Member NOTTYBYNATURE-NY was suspended by eBay for posting the link to an ABC NEWS Reporter on one of eBay’s discussion boards, over a bad eBay transaction.

I don’t know who is right regarding the transaction itself, but eBay was originally built by smaller sellers and buyers who did business together.  Ever since John Donahoe took over running eBay into the ground, it’s been the HELL with our small sellers! All they do is Make NOISE and cause problems.

Of course those of us that have been around since the early days of eBay know that it was OUR Hard Work that built eBay into what it once was! Now that Meg Whitman is running for CA Governor, the more ole John Boy Donahoe screws up ebay, the better it makes Her Look.. Think about it!

OK, enough of my ranting.. And back to NOTTYBYNATURE-NY, The sellers feedback looks pretty good to me. And it looks like the seller got a difficult buyer and when they complained on eBay’s discussion board, eBay just suspended the seller!

All i have to say is John Donahoe.. You SUCK!! Plain and Simple! Since you suspended my account I have been buying on Amazon.com and it’s great! I hope all your sellers go run over there! And I also hope Jeff Bezos opens Amazon Auctions! If he does it will finish you off!

Meanwhile.. Everyone keep MAKING all the NOISE you can.. and spread the word how bad eBay Sucks all over the Internet!!

eBay Really Sucks!!

Troydes.com top placement on Google Search. Buy An eBay or PayPal Account!

I stumbled across this website while checking out my own sites placement in search. It’s been some time since i blogged an article and figured this should be a good one to get the word out about.

Home page on troydes.com showing the prices for the eBay and PayPal accounts available.

This website has been around for some time – so I’m sure eBay knows about it.

Whois Info on Troydes.com showing private registration - private reg hides the true owners identety.

eBay probably could care less if someone buys one of these combos and cheats their buyers, or uses the PayPal account to cheat some of their sellers.

Just whip out your credit card - but how can you trust someone selling eBay and PayPal accounts!

This website just smacks of fraud! Who in their right mind would whip out their credit card and order one of there eBay or PayPal accounts? That’s like leaving your credit card in the bar at some sleazy lounge.. LOL!

Wow.. This is a great Video!

eBay sure loves these scamming buyers!

Or Have Scammers Found A Drafty PP Back Door?

On 04/21/2009 I received the below email from PayPal. It was sent at 11:32 PM after I was sound asleep the night before. As usual I pulled the headers up – and everything about the message pointed right back to PayPal as the sender. As a matter of habit I forwarded the message to spoof@paypal.com along with the headers. I also validated the phone number via a Google Search and it traced back to PayPal too.

Several hours later I got a reply back from spoof-review@paypal.com saying the message was not sent by PayPal and it links to a FAKE WEBSITE! Scratching my head in disbelief.

I had not clicked the link before – but the curiosity was getting the best of me, so I ran CCleaner on my system deleting all my cookies, cache, etc, then clicked the link. It brought up a secure page on paypal.com saying the link had expired. There was another option to confirm my identity at the bottom of that page.

I selected email and then clicked continue. The page reloaded saying i should receive an email at blank – but never received one. I did a view source of the page and everything suggests I was on the official PayPal website. Also note the https secure notifications in all the website screen shots showing I was on secure PayPal pages.

So my question is – did a scammer try to hack my PayPal Account? Or have Scammers found another way into PayPal? Though I don’t see anything fraudulent in any of the pages displayed. I’m thinking PayPal is simply flagging their own emails as fraudulent. Could they be using delayed auto-responders on messages sent to spoof@paypal.com?
