Here is more ignorant thinking on eBay’s part.

What were these boneheaded eBay execs thinking when they decided that their buyers were such saints – and sellers were the bad guys wearing black hats? And apparently for that reason, a seller could not leave a well deserved negative or neutral feedback comment to a scamming buyer?

Scamming buyers have started negging sellers because they know the seller can’t neg em back! And with feedback now being calculated on a 12 month period, many good sellers lost their power seller status overnight thanks to eBay now counting neutrals as negatives! That is insane!!

This one is a real piece of work!

It’s a sad day when eBay is letting this happen to their sellers!

Sucks Don’t It??

Dan Goodin from the Register reported last night about this issue.

A serious scripting error has been discovered on PayPal that could enable attackers to create convincing spoof pages that steal users’ authentication credentials..

The cross-site scripting bug is made all the more critical because it resides on a page that uses an extended validation secure sockets layer certificate. The new-fangled SSL mechanism is designed to give users a higher degree of confidence that the page they’re visiting is secure by turning their browser address bar green.
