Right, Bill! I've no doubt that the majority of Ebay users are fine
honest folks.

But they are allowing the bad guys to co-opt their system.

How do you figure that? I've been screwed by many more grinning vendors
at hamfests than from ebay sellers and nobody seems to be screaming
about trying to clean them up.
I don't think you'll disagree that there's a certain portion of the
population who are going to screw other people whether its sitting in
church pilfering the offering plate or behind prison walls.
Why would you think that ebay could (or should) have some method of
creating an artifically "safe" segment of society? Just how would they
go about doing such a thing? Shoot, if you have a solution then I
nominate you for Pope.
