...er, because Ebay employees set up buying accounts and log in via home IP addresses, buying random stuff to make small sellers feel like there's more activity going on and revenue coming in than is actually the case, perhaps? (Till the sellers do their sums...) Buy, don't pay, get a strike, open another account, rinse and repeat...
Have I got a nasty suspicious mind? (I already know the answer to that one).

Gosh and I thought I was bad.
Personally I think it is the aliens, tying us all up in front of our PCs so they can slowly take over the world and we would all be so busy dealing with NPBs that we wouldn't notice until we had been conquered.

I blame the MP's , they are all buying stuff and then not paying when they realise they can't claim it on expenses.
Oh no, its the bankers, or perhaps Elvis...
