NEW COMMERS ARE TERRORISTS

[gems-india]

PEOPLE LIKE eghsntyudysuz(0) OR olyfghjbtjwbf(0) (THERE ARE TOO MANY TO NAME) ARE JUST LIKE TERRORISTS TO THE EBAY COMMUNITY, THESE TERRORISTS MAKE BOGUS(FAKE) IDs, BUY ITEMS FROM TOP SELLERS - ONCE THEY COME TO KNOW EMAIL AND OTHER INFO - SUDDENLY YOU NOTICE THAT YOUR EMAIL ASSOCIATED WITH EBAY HAS NOT LESS THAN 50 JUNK MAILS EVERYDAY TRYING TO STEEL AWAY YOUR BANK/PAYPAL/OTHER INFO TO MAKE YOU MOST POOR PERSON OF THE WORLD.

MY SUGGESTION :

EBAY SHOULD MAKE SEVERAL IDS (OF EBAY COMPANY LIKE "EBAY-FLOWERS", "EBAY-STATIONEY") AND DIRECTLY SELL SOME USEFUL COMODITY LIKE FLOWERS, STATIONERY, PEN, GREETING CARDS, STAMPS, ENVELOPS ETC. (THINGS THAT EVERYONE USES - AT CHEAPER PRICES) AND SHOULD MAKE THE NEW COMMERS PRACTICE TO BUY ITEMS, PAY FOR THEM AND LEAVE FEEDBACK. THERE SHOULD BE A RULE THAT EACH NEW ID MAKER SHOULD BUY AT LEAST 5 ITEMS FROM EBAY'S SUCH IDS. AND COMPLETE THE TRANSACTIONS (WITHIN A PARTICULAR TIME).

AND IT SHOULD BE BANNED THAT A PERSON HAVING FEEDBACK OF 5 OR LESS CANNOT BID OTHER AUCTIONS, (AFTER ALL THEY ARE SIGNING UP TO BUY SOMETHING, IF THEY DONT HAVE MONEY TO BUY A PEN THEN I THINK THEY DONT HAVE THE RIGHT TO SIGNUP)

EBAY SHOULD DO EXERCISE AND TRAIN PEOPLE TO BUY AND PAY AND LEAVE FEEDBACK NOT VERBALY BUT PRACTICALLY WITH THEMSELVES. THIS WILL ALSO HELP THEM TO ACERTAIN THAT THE NEW COMMER IS A HUMAN OR A TERRORIST.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND EBAY SHOULD DO IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!! OR TO SAVE THE SELLERS FROM THE ZERO FEEDBACK FEAR - EBAY SHOULD DO SOMETHING THAT THEY THINK IS BETTER THAN THIS BECAUSE WE (SELLERS) DO NOT WANT TO WORK WITH TERRORISTS.

Hi gems-india,

Are these members only from Austria?

Check this article out:

I think you shouldn't post your first and last name here where scammers lurk the boards for personal information to send you fake emails that look real with your first and last name on them. 😞

Besides My Messages, you should use Iconix for emails so you know they are really from eBay or PayPal:

It's in beta (new) I like it. :) .

Dear Sellers,

They are Chinese spammer criminals. You get email like need Nike for 29$ with shipping or MP3 player for cheaper price like that, they spam every where, not only eBay.in. I use Gmail to tackle these fellows. When i receive first mail from i report to Gmail as spam, that's it. They are blocked from sending any further mails.

Even one of my purchase bid is canceled by eBay last week through this xyz login id. They mainly target PowerSellers.

Never reply to them.

Kind regards,
CoolBrasCo.

Hi,

I am also experiencing the same problem and wish to share with the community. 10 days ago two buyers purchased my items:

eBay ID: xorx55220
jid wcgvqiap
SE-332 59 Kungsbacka
Kungsbacka, Castilla y León 27997
Spain
E-mail: vorutoyooy@yahoo.com.cn

and

eBay ID: epdjn1488et
fgdfgfgfgdfgdfg fgdfggfgdg
gfgfgfg
gdgdffg
gdfgdgdfg, South Australia 3566
Australia
E-mail: rua1482wzr@yahoo.com.cn

The next day both were No longer registered with eBay. And after that I am receiving 8-10 spam e-mails everyday to my e-mail address registered with eBay.

If you look at the address of the second buyer, you will be surprised how it was registered with eBay? Is there nobody to check the registration of new users on eBay? The history of that buyer says: Member since 07-May-2007 in Australia. He had registered 3 months ago and none of the members of eBay Team noticed this.

Hi,

Even I am facing the same problem. Every morning I delete around 20 - 30 spam mails. Because of these Chinese spammers, I miss responding to the genuine buyer's questions.

Its gone worst now! They make a order to know email ids and then send spam to our emails.

Here is the below example of direct mail I am getting:

This scares me, this means I will possibly have to shut down my listings to worldwide buyers. I have Asia blocked in the Sell Your Item form and we have Buyer Requirements on the US site, you guys do not have that here, it block them from buying from me even though my listing says I don't sell to Asia, I had one try to buy from me on the 9th from China.

If they are registering like that from Spain, Austria and Australia I have to block all international bidders NOW. .

Hello gems-india

To answerer your queries is Buyer requirements allow you to block buyers from bidding on or purchasing your items based on criteria such as their country of registration and their buying history on eBay. You can also create a buyer requirements exemption list.

With the combination of the following you can eliminate to a great extent all possible fake buyers who are not serious about transacting on site.

1. Block buyers / bidders from cities / countries you do not ship to
2. Block buyers / bidders with unpaid item strikes in the last 30 days
3. Block buyers / bidders with feedback score of -1,-2,-3

In addition to this to this tool we have the provision of Cancel a bid

Cancel a bid would be if a bidder contacts you to back out of the bid or asks you to ship to cities / countries you do not ship

Check this link on Buyer Requirement Regards,
