The Auction Guild Notes for Saturday 13 Nov 1999

We strongly recommend that you opt for EMAIL MESSAGE,
NOT digest for your subscription option. Messages get sent immediately,

posted a survey on the site, and would appreciate your input.

eBay US- is having search indexing problems. Search indexing
was
behind approximately 2 days. The problem was identified and
fixed at
approx 0530 PT and updated through Friday. It will take several
update
cycles to bring everything up to date and current.
EBay has a warning on the announcement board - Some users have
received another fake eBay email marked "Your credit card has been
compromised.". This email claims to have been sent from the "eBay Fraud
Department" and urges the recipient to visit a web site and
provide
personal credit card information at that site. If you have received this
email, do NOT visit the site and do NOT provide your credit card
information. eBay will never request your credit
card information
via email.
They also have a special holiday suggestion page. Holiday-o-rama
page
at: http://www.ebay.com/holidayorama Includes a link to the new
eBay
Official Guide. http://www2.ebay.com/aw/announce.shtml
Still no information from eBay on the spider that eBay alleges was
operating on our ISP subnet. eBay agreed to send information
when they
unblocked the ISP subnet on 9 Nov, so that we could find and take
appropriate action against the perpetrator, but hasn’t. The
last phone
call from the ISP Tech to eBay elicited a “the person who does the logs
is on vacation”. For something eBay thought was important
enough to
block 254 potential users, this appears to be very inconsistent
behavior. Our ISP wants to fix this problem NOW, and eBay appears
to
be stonewalling – very strange.
