    RFW,

    I promise, if you stop putting up ridiculous arguments I will stop responding to them.

    I have covered this direct email address nonsense in my linked rant; the suggestion that there was a serious problem with scammers “guessing” users’ direct email addresses from users’ IDs is, in my humble opinion, a load of disingenuous tosh!


    I'm sorry you don't believe me, my knowledge of this were not taken from Ebay, but I provided some of the users affected by this to Ebay myself. I also have a series of email correspondence with a scammer. I don't need to 'think about it', I have first hand experience and copies of emails from several customers. This was not a one off incident nor was I the only one affected. You are free to not believe me, or indeed believe that I work for Ebay because I happen to take a stance that is contrary to your anti-Ebay position.

    You could check the previous thread mentioned and the date thereof which was some time before ids were made anonymous.

    Your continuous rants that Ebay are horrible, you don't like them, they don't do anything for the good of anyone, etc are tedious, I'll repeat, if you don't like Ebay, DON'T USE EBAY!!!! It is so simple.

    I doubt I'll be replying any further in this thread, it is becoming particularly repetitious.
