How does ebay know to suspend people who reregister? How can they tell its the same person if you use fake inf

The bulk of action taken against eBay users is due to other members 'policing' the site.\n\nThese people are often experts in specific areas and can often recognise return offenders who they have had dealings with before.

They will not mail you anything.\n\nThey need your address to verify that you are legit, also most sellers won't ship to an unconfirmed address.\n\nOnly Ebay and anyone you buy from will see your address.\n\nYou can use a P.O. Box.\n\nIf you use a fake address, then the items you buy will not get to you.\n\nYou can look all you want on Ebay without registering, just can't buy or sell.

Its fraud. Dont buy chips on the site. They got kicked off EBAY for selling the chips. Your only suppose to have  1 account per person and if they get caught all their names get deactivated. They can get into your bank account.

Probably, Ebay has never asked me that kind of info when logging in.  NEVER follow links from an email to get to ebay.  Always type www.ebay.com in your address bar yourself to get to the site.  Maybe scan your computer for viruses and spyware, make sure you have a firewall..\n\nIf you already entered that information, you might contact your bank, change account numbers, atm pin.  Contact the credit monitoring agencies and put them on alert to the fact that you gave out your SSN#.\n\n\n\nTry this free virus scan program http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

It doesn't quite work like that. Ebay is pretty safe, I don't know of it being hacked. Not only that, but you usually don't give your credit card info to ebay, you give it to paypal.com (an e bay company). Anyway, there is a scam out there, it's considered "phishing". I've received several of these "phishing" e mails claming to be from my bank, ebay, my ISP whoever. It says something along the lines of "you owe money" or "your credit card has expired"   There's a link that takes you to a fake website. I got one that claimed it was ebay, and they wanted updated card info. I knew it was a scam, but i wanted to check it out. The ebay replica was pretty accurate, and the web address wouldn't tip off the average computer user.\nAnyway, yes there are fake sites out there, usually just mock ups from "phishers" My advice is to not give out your credit card unless you have typed in the web addy yourself and know what it is.

Do Not Panic!\nIf you respond to these SPOOF emails, that's when they get you.\nThey are bluffing & want some of your personal information.\nDO NOT RESPOND!\nGo to ebay's community & you'll get your answers there.\n\nAnd if you have a number for ebay... I would love to have it! \nAs far as I know, eBay doesn't have telephone numbers. Everything is done via internet. [it's an internet service] \n\nDo not call anyone [ebay] & do not give any information to NO ONE!\n\n\nGood Luck!

While I have over 3000 feedbacks on ebay I can't say that I personally have been cheated, but I can say that I see people cheating all too often.  The most common thing they do is set up a 2nd username and shill bid their own items to find out what someone is willing to pay, and then they retract their phony bid down to the level that maximises the real buyers bid.  Its sad.  Very sad that people will do this for a few bucks.\n\nWhat is worse to me is that some of these "dealer" types in sport cards will manipulate the price of cards higher.  They are willing to pay a few bucks in ebay fees to show the "value" of the card as something higher then it really is.  After a few manipulated auctions to themselves they release several into the ebay market and make their money off unsuspecting collectors.  And many of them are power sellers so eBay won't do much about them if anything.

it is against their rules, but they don't really detect violators (unless things have changed lately)... my hunch is that gross violators will be stopped, but the occasional, small-time "shill bidder" they don't worry about

They need, I mean must, crack down on the scam artists and pathetic listing practices of so many.  I mean ebooks, supposed web sites, and the such are listed to nausiating levels.  \n\nAnd worse you have the theives that Ebay does little about especially if they are power sellers.  I know of one powerseller that buys and sells the same collectibles I do who was suspended for shill bidding; a short suspension and he's back in business.  They must have the ability to track these thieves and need to prevent them from using their system to bilk innocent people.

Keep on persisting w/ paypal, however, they usually side with the buyer so be careful.  If you prove to them that the person is a classic out of country crook, they may refund your money, but depending on how many other crimes this person has done, that person may go free.

Well, it is supposed that Y! investigates first the violation, then gives the notice but I don't think that this much is accurate, see a few days ago I reported somebody that was advertising one of those win-free-money sites and obiously I let knew the asker that I was the one giving the report by just answering "Reported scammer!" the next day I got a violation notice stating that I wasn't giving any question or answer to the asker when this wasn't even a question!!! I try to contact Y! abuse reports via mail to know if they have erased that advertisement and didn't get any satisfactory reply at all.\nThe point is that you are not the only one suffering with reports, if you wanna act like a good participant and report any violation it might come to bite your back too, so what I think it's best is that you be very careful with what you're saying around here, adress people very gently don't get yourself involved into too controversial issues or topics and just answer what is necessary ("where do I find this?" "here's a link that might help you"), and finally if you post a report don't let know the person asking or answering with a violation to know by any means that you are responsible for that report.\nGood Luck dude!!!

Firstly, you will get negative ratings from the seller which means that other sellers may not accept bids from you in future.\n\nAdditionally, the seller can report you to eBay who may ban you from their site.\n\nTo avoid this, you may wish to contact the seller directly, explain why you no longer want the item and try to come to some agreement with them.

Yes. If your IP changes, and you use a new account (new login name), the site cannot know it is you. Of course, I'd avoid the behaviour that got you banned in the first place, or they'll guess :-)

You can only contact members of ebay that you're in a transaction with (your sellers if you're a buyer and your buyers if you're a seller). You're not allowed to contact random people on ebay, ebay doesn't like that. There's no way to pool your dispute for paypal. If you put in a dispute for paypal you just have to wait and see how it's resolved. If others have put in disputes as well they'll each be individual, but a lot of disputes will hurt a person's paypal account and possibly get it suspended/closed. Good luck with that, I haven't had a lot of luck with paypal disputes, they tend to side with the seller a lot of times even if you're in the right as a buyer.\n\nI see from your other question that you've been sent a tracking number but no item has been received. I doubt that paypal will grant your dispute because all they require from a seller is a tracking number. If the seller provides them with a tracking number, the dispute will likely be found in their favor. I've had that happen to me.\n\nThe answerer below me gave you the info to get the contact info of somebody you're in a transaction with. You won't be able to get info of other buyers that your seller has (and has possibly defrauded also). Ebay will only allow you to get contact information of a person you're doing ebay business with, not any ebay member.
