I, too, feel that ebay needs to police itself better, or I'll bet they get in a class-action suit sooner or later. They are facilitating fraud, and it seems that should be illegal. I understand PayPal (owned by ebay) has been sued for some of their activities.

I was recently involved in a SMALL auction where the seller took my money and ran. I emailed ebay, and got a form reply, blah, blah, blah, that ended with them telling me they would check into the matter, but could not reveal the results of their investigation to me for PRIVACY reasons.

Does that make any sense... the seller screwed me, and ebay won't help me, but the CROOKED SELLER has a right to PRIVACY?

(The item was paid for with a USPO Money Order, which the seller acknowledged recieving, and then disappeared.)

I don't understand how people can list a no reserve auction, and then, if the bidding isn't high enough, pull the auction with the explanation "Item is no longer available for sale."

Isn't it ebay's policy that you can't do that, once an item is listed with "no reserve"?

As far as the "search by region" function, that is still available in a different form.

You must be signed in, then do your search, and when the results page comes up, click on the drop-down menu labelled "Sort by".

Select "Distance, nearest first", and the listing will be re-arranged showing the mileage from your registered location to the seller's location.
