Judge Dred (Fred)First off - sorry to hear about the problems with ebay... I hope you don't incur any financial losses because of it.
Food for thought...
Keeping government agencies active with internet fraud cases can only lead to a deficit in personnel. Either the employment holes will have to be filled or the cases will come to a screeching halt. The government will need more staffing to handle these cases which means someones going to have to pay for it. I can see ebay getting hit with some type of surcharge because of the number of cases that will originate from their portal. We all might get stuck paying surcharges on auctions in an effort to cover these costs. I wonder when that will begin?
Pretty soon the government might figure out exactly how much money that they are missing out on in ebay sales and there might be an internet tax on top of the surcharge to cover the fraud cases that will need to be investigated by the government agencies...
Maybe somebody will finally file a lawsuit against ebay for not providing a more safe environment for the bidding/selling community. Ebay will have to put more people on staff to monitor all of this... this costs money so we'll get hit with more fees...
ebay sucks, unfortunately it is what it is and I bet most people here would rather live with the crap than scrap the whole thing... there's definitely room for improvement... damn, 0830 and the bottles already empty... blah, blah, blah... ok, time to shut up...
