This would be my guess as well. I'm guessing that the individual(s) are spoofing my official OO.o email address, since eBay will only (normally)act on emails from officially registered addresses. I'm currently exchanging emails with eBay in Australia, and will be organizing things so that all contact from OO.will be digitally signed (I still have to workout how to get my public key to them). Hopefully this will put a stop to the problem. On the same subject, I'm starting to think that our eBay user name/account has been hijacked, so I'll be requesting eBay to investigate that line as well. Unfortunately, I'll need to wait until I can get in touch with Louis (I can't remember the password :( ). > > In my experience, and from listening to the eBay radio > program for the last several months, eBay will not > remove a listing on their own.
