ebaY Free Seller Special Listings Week Glitch Scam

On 05.26.2010, ebaY announced a listings special to run for 1 week.

The ad read:
"Seller Special
1 week only: May 26-June 1
Get free Insertion Fees for all Auction-style listings--regardless of start price*
List even big ticket items--start the bidding where you want
Pay only if your item sells"

The next day, sellers/listers were being charged for the supposedly free listings. Ebay LiveChat Live Help claimed "Glitch."

This is a part of what appears to be an ongoing and larger, clear and continued pattern of behavior, all aimed at wrongful enrichment via deception; glitches, canned email, willful ignorance, and incompetence to stagger the imagination.

Once again I call on the impacted users to complain, complain complain to appropriate authorities.

Thank you again, Cap, for this important information.

You might want to search for & read "Falle-Internet Reports Malware Was Spread through eBay Hijacking"

In particular the part where it says "...They used javascript and java to address a known vulnerability; user’s computers were affected by just viewing the respective listings..."

Ebay is getting more dangerous, worse yet eb refuses to correct the xss flaw. In fact they blame the users for it rather than accept responsibility.

The flaw has been a known issue for +/- 10 years now.

rotflmao. I think it's pretty clear now that Donahoe is busy hacking the site like V never dreamed of. omg he's chopping the shizzle out it.

Besides, it's not the kill it's the thrill of the chase.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

You know ebay is desperate right now to get some 2nd quarter earnings! They will do anything, even if it's to deceive the public, they will do whatever it takes!!

No wonder everyone loathes this company!!

It's really a transparent ruse of money-grubbing scam and weasel words at this point, nothing more IMO.

btw, Does anyone know why there is no data at medved?

Unbelievable huh? Not only that, but if sellers don't complain and keep track of the item #s, they will be billed. eb is NOT automatically refunding/deducting the fees.

Those whom catch it & are successful in reporting/receiving CS will be billed, but are to receive 'credit" according to the comments.

Another ebay glitch aka interest free cash advance loan? How else can you look at it?
