Which is why I mostly browse under linux, and I never trust emails from ebay
and the like. I've sent quite a few notices to fraud at ebay myself. And they
generally do nothing about that stuff, by the way. They really seem not to
give a s***. Especially about frauds perpetrated by their sellers. Ebay is a
good place to buy, but treat it like it's a guy selling from the trunk of his
car and speaking softly and you'll be a lot safer.
