More Thoughts on eBay Feedback
Filed Under Feedback | 3 Comments
I’ve left approximately 25% more feedback than I’ve received. I understand that feedback is not compulsory, but one has to wonder what motivates an eBay user to choose to leave or not to leave feedback. Interestingly, I get more feedback when I’m participating in eBay as a buyer capacity than as a seller. As a seller, I generally leave feedback first, so retaliatory feedback shouldn’t be my buyer’s concern.

eBay Hacked
Filed Under Industry News & Analysis | Leave a Comment
According to eBay’s corporate blog, the auction site’s message boards were hacked sometime before the morning of September 25th. Hackers posted contact information and credit card numbers for approximately 1,200 eBay users. eBay was careful to point out that the information came from sources other than eBay or PayPal. The bogus posts were removed and eBay stated they were attempting to contact the individuals who had their personal information disclosed so that they might take appropriate precautions. eBay went on to state that they suspected the hacker or hackers used compromised usernames and passwords harvested from phishing scams.
