    how did she know who reported her, i thought it was annonymous?


    My user name on here is similar to ebay one so she probably found it that way

    i dont think ebay actually tell people who has reported them

    Because honesty is more important that being able to save yourself a few pound by miss using a service which is basically theft

    Because people who behave like you force the fees up for everyone else. If we all evaded fees then eBay would fold and we would all loose the facility. I hate paying taxes and I think they are too high but I dont advocate evading them.

    I'd be careful admitting that if I were you. With the extradition agreement with the US that Tony Blair signed you could well find yourself on your way to San Quentin as a guest of Ebay and the Eff Bee Eye speechless-smiley-040.gif.

    there are far worse crimes being committed on ebay than fee avoidance. May vigilante action could be better targeted?
