Thanks for informing the general public about consumer fraud on eBay. There's a flip side happening now and criminals are capitalizing on good and honest eBay sellers who have a great rating who want to keep it that way. They are creating new accounts on eBay and then ordering items and saying they never received them -- or that something was missing. Then they leave a negative or neutral rating and get the seller again through PayPal. You see, all a buyer has to do is say "item not as described" and PayPal will side with the buyer. Fraud is rampant on eBay now more than ever since they instituted the "no negative feedback policy on buyers." It means buyers are free to extort sellers, as long as they are clever and use the right words. <br> <br> Incidentally, we closed our eBay listings and will not sell on eBay until it's safe to return. <br> <br> Here are some tips for handlng online fraud:<br> http://www.mermaidmonkey.com/handlingfraud.html

This week's poll
Do you like the idea of auto insurers switching to a pay-as-you-drive model -- where how, when and where you drive may be monitored?
Yes, I'm all for any approach that can save me money.
No, it's too much like having Big Brother in the back seat.
I'm not sure. I'd like the savings, but I don't know if I'd feel comfortable being monitored.
