Ebay RICO activity?

[Skiz]

What is the name of your state? Louisiana

Ebay is aware of a seller with a 32,000 feedback rating, one of the most active members on the site, who is actively engaging in a pattern of criminal behavior, non-delivery of goods over plus or minus $20. This seller has stolen $65 from me but has taken hundreds from other purchasers. The seller goes by the name theblueox, and is located in Algonquin Illinois. I am in the process of contacting the Illinois State Police, the local Algonquin Ill. Police and the USPS. Is eBay liable for protecting this "Powerseller" by tacitly doing nothing to stop her? This seller is clocking in at 50-80 negatives for theft PER MONTH but does such a high volume in $1 items that the feedback is quickly buried. When I say that ebay is aware of this seller this is because I have been in contact with 20-30 other victims who have all reported the seller to no avail over the last 6 mos- 1 year.

My response:

We don't care about E-Bay buyers or sellers. Got a problem? Take it up with them.

Great attitude! Look- this is not a lady with a beef about a faded sweater. This is about a multi-billion dollar Internet presence perpetrating a system of protection for someone engaging in a continuous and long running pattern of organized criminal behavior. Is eBay liable for RICO prosecution under these conditions or not? You're the legal minds. A cogent opinion out there?

This is a question for "I Am Always Liable"....

When you use the term "we". who are you referring to?



Apparently E-Bay doesn't think they're responsible. On a CNBC Special last night about E-Bay, it was suggested that since these problems are widespread, perhaps they should consider hiring a staff of professionals trained in these things, who can find patterns and whatnot. They do have people who look for fraudulent activity but it wasn't clear about the security mechanisms in place to deter and prevent it. I'm a seller and these scammers reduce my sales by jeapordizing the public's trust. One would think it would be in E-Bay's best interest to upgrade their security methods.

He is referring to "us". Senior Members who don't give a crap about ebay and the problems people keep having with it. Who are you?

Let me guess. You're a reincarnation of snoogiejj1 and janedoe23. I don't know why you keep making up new member names, but you are so obvious when you do it you may as well not even bother.

You really should acquire some sort of proof before you go accusing complete strangers and new members of being someone else. Check my IP, I have NO idea who this or these other people are but your accusation says more about you than it does about me.

Consumers have a right to discuss things about E-Bay. You can always opt not to read something if it doesn't interest you.

You're right Jane/Snoog. It says that I am sick of trolls playing games. Go back under your bridge.

I think you should provide evidence before calling people names like that. There are at least two people who know for a fact I am NOT whoever you're accusing me of being...the other person and myself. Obviously, you have no clue what you're talking about. Ask the Admin here for proof. Compare IP addresses. I don't really care but when they discover how antagonistic and WRONG you are, I certainly hope they ban you from posting here.

I patiently await your evidence.

As if I care enough to bother Admin. with this. If they want to ban me they will. I'm really not that concerned about it.

Whatever, be whomever you like today. It's really not that important to me.

Oh ok, I see. So you call me names, obssess about my identity, provide no proof of these accusations, then decide you can't be bothered. LOL

Whatever.
