Dishonest Selling On eBay Tougher With Alert Buyers
I received this email this past week:
"Hello,You Are on my mail list because you may have bought some seeds or bamboo poles from me in the past. There is a guy his ebay ID is ADAMHERSH. He is ripping off a lot of people on ebabay. I`m one of them. Just in the past 30 days he has gotten over 500 neg feedback. There is a petition going around to have him booted off ebay. You don`t have to be a victim of his to sign. Check out his feedback. If you think he needs to get the boot please sign."

Quite fascinating reading and very encouraging if buyers and sellers police the auctions themselves, rather than relying on eBay.
One thing, though ... the gentleman who sent the email above to me has the email addresses of all his customers visible in the email. If I were an unscrupulous scammer, I could take advantage of this error. Not a good thing to do.
