[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 4041864, member: 6727"] I agree, but you have to consider the sheer volume of their members. I would expect that they rely on software to catch questionable listings of any sort. And it surely wouldn't be 100% effective. I really think it is more up to the buyer to use normal caution when dealing with lower feedback sellers, or those with negative feedback (especially with higher priced items). One thing I do know is that eBay doesn't do a good job checking the background of their sellers (and buyers). I've had cases where the address information or phone number was incorrect. In one case the person purposely provided eBay with false information. I reported this fraud case to eBay but they basically did nothing. If their system did a better job checking address, financial and phone number info they'd have a safer community IMO. That and a much better way of handling investigations. Believe me, they are very content with their "satisfactory" half-hearted effort. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
