I am selling a few things on Ebay and I have had a couple of questions
about things totally unrelated (items listed on ebay.com by other
people). One was asking about the buy it now price and the other
complaining about lack of goods having paid for them. Whats the scam?

If you get any emails related to ebay that arent also present in the
My Messages section of My Ebay its best to bin them straight away.

The link to log in and reply to the questions will be a fake ebay site
phishing for usernames and passwords

These were probably phishing attempts. Had you clicked on the Reply
button, youd have been directed to a web site that looked *exactly*
like the login page on EBay, but was in fact some other site
altogether[1]. Once youd entered your details, the phisher would
have your ebay identity, which he would use to post scan auctions.

[1] This site would probably be running on a so-called zombie server
- a machine that has been hacked, and the real owner is completely
unaware that hes hosting a ebay scam site

I AM GETTING FUCKING PISSED OFF WITH IT ALL!!

FFS every fucking where I turn there is some fucking thieving cunt
trying to sneak round the back of me to make off with what is rightfully
fucking mine! Pissed off with it I say.

Well actually no, more like pissed off with my seeming inability to stop
it happening.

Some cunt once worked out that you spend two months or whatever out of
the working year feeding the Inscos and about three seconds for the
slice that goes to plod. I am sure there is a connection.
