Helmut,
Absolutely amazing. My jawed is dropped. This clearly demonstrates where
their priorities are -- they will spend the money to monitor any possible
negative comment about eBay on their bulletin boards and catch it within
minutes, but they won't spend the money to monitor and stop someone buying
16,000 items in eleven hours. Incredible. Criminal. Arrogant...
... but wait, I've mentioned this about eBay before... I think someone
even started a new auction site dedicated exclusively to movie posters that
doesn't have any of these problems... a site where lots of people like to look
at and buy posters, but a site which has NOT had any large amount of
support from the dealer community which continues to be victimized by
eBay and yet still continues to list on eBay and won't even take the time to put
a few of their posters up that new movie poster-only auction site and give
it a try...
So, it seems like eBay isn't the only one with long-term policy problems
and lack of vision.
... now let me see... what was that thing called... something like
"MoviePosterBid.com"? And who started it...? ... oh yeah, now I
remember...

Policy - Trust & Safety (SafeHarbor) - filmposter.net
eBay is unable to shut down an apparently
hijacked account
for three days, but post a
warning on their discussion board, and, boy,
can
they be fast... The message below came only a few
hours after I had
started the thread on one of
their forums.
