Default E-bay shoppers beware....

On Mon, 3 Dec 2007 16:32:27 -0500, jamesgangnc penned the following
well considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:

|How about the sellers account was hijacked because he fell for a phishing
|scam. Or downloaded a virus that collected his ebay id and password. Ebay
|will probably have logs that show that someone provided a good id and
|password. It's not ebay's responsibility or capability to know that the
|person using the id and password is really the correct person.
|
|Our ebay account got hijacked. Ebay found it very quickly and disabled it.
|I never figured out how it was hijacked because we're pretty good about
|recognizing the phishing stuff. After I go it turned back on I got the $5
|verisign token for it and paypal.

eBay owns Paypal......PayPal now owns VeriSign and from the attempted
screwing I got from PayPal..... I feel no sense of security.....
