<p>[QUOTE="susanlynn9, post: 18734, member: 1258"]I am not sure why eBay sees a benefit in it. I am thinking that it might be a benefit in as much as the scammers either won't be able to claim no knowledge and still use item specifics, so there may be a better accountability factor and that may scare some of them off; the other option is that if they don't use the item specifics and the buyers are using the specifics to search, the scammers auctions won't come up in those searches, thereby reducing the visibility of these auctions. Lack of sales would have to be at least a slight deterrant. What does eBay have in mind? I have no idea at all. On the surface, I think it's a bad idea. I'm trying to find some good that can come out of it. Quite frankly, it's a pain for the sellers and many more clicks for the buyers. If my suggestion for a Copy/Replica specific is used, I think it could improve the fraud factor. But I haven't heard back from Drew yet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
