The Perfect Analogy

eBay is always bragging about all the cutting edge technology they have in place to prevent fraud. Yet this guy was able to sell $200,000 worth of nonexistent electronics and eBay stood around with their corporate thumb up its *** without a clue. They religiously hold payments and force limitations on old ladies selling cracked teacups & used baby clothes and old men selling fishing tackle and let the real criminals slip through the net every time.

Where was all their so called cutting edge technology when this guy was committing grand larceny and fraud? Probably swooping down on some poor schmuck for selling an old bird's nest. Of course when the San Jose spin department finishes with it, the official version will be trumpeting how eBay and law enforcement cracked this case. The only way eBay cooperates with the cops is when they show up at the front entrance with a writ in their hand.

This was written in response to an article about a seller who was selling non-existent electronic articles and scamming on ebay. It is the perfect analogy of what ebay really does do...cracks down on an innocent while a real criminal gets away with grand larceny and repeat fraud.
