[QUOTE="mlov43, post: 3977370, member: 16729"]My guess is that eBay is making a simple business decision to not attend to each and every one of the fraudulent sellers/buyers that use their platform. It may just be a simple cost-benefit analysis: If the level of fraud on their site reduces their revenues (fewer bids, scaring away customers, etc) by a only certain acceptable percentage, AND [B]that cost is less than the cost of tackling the problem[/B], then they probably don't bother. And eBay probably doesn't bother banning people with whom [B]they[/B] don't have bad business interactions. As long as the seller is paying the fees, shipping on time, follows the other rules and communicates respectfully, it's usually your word against his... He said, she said. And eBay and PayPal laugh all the way to the bank...[/QUOTE]
