Question:

Where do I go on eBay to learn about how these codes work?  I’ve searched their Help section but can’t find any information there. Thanks—- Donna

Ty accurately observed: Bull-pucky.  Dozens — hundreds — of financial institutions are the targets of phishers.  Only the dim-witted and/or gullible think it means anything other than being a way for thieves to con folks out of information. I don’t know about that Ty. Remember how pickpockets totally destroyed the market for Levis.

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – criticism is unfounded.

Ty Who is mostly just a slightly skewed Donna Reed Ebay exists only because there are those willing to use it. It is nothing more than a provided  medium. Are there any stores you do not patronize because you don’t like the neighborhood? Is it the store’s fault that the surrounding area has decayed? Some people don’t use Windows and have gone with Apple computers because of the proliferation of viruses specifically targeting the Windows platform. Those inclined to write viruses are not going to waste their "creative" energy writing viruses for such a small market as the Apple community, consequently they target Windows users. Consequently, Apple’s market share goes up based on this phenomenon alone. My guess there *are* people who shy away from eBay and PayPal because of a lack of trust in the system. This impression (however misguided and uninformed it may be) is enhanced and perpetuated by the massive proliferation of scams, perpetuated by nefarious individuals, using these two mediums as the battleground.

And my guess is there’s an agenda here. Kris

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I’m just wondering how PayPal and Ebay are surviving with this relentless attack on their security. And phishing would sink them just how? It ain’t their security under attack dummy. It is yours. They ain’t robbing the bank, they are picking off the guy standing at the ATM. I am surprised they even give a shit about phishers. If it reaches epidemic proportions, it becomes completely academic as to WHOSE security is being breached -or- WHOSE fault it is. If it is all Ebay-related, it tarnishes the reputation of the company – even if the criticism is unfounded.

But it’s NOT all aimed at eBay.    I get more phishers pretending to be banks (which I don’t even do business with) than I do from eBay. You’re probably only seeing the eBay/PayPal phish because you’ve consigned everything else to your junk mail folders. From another of your posts: Are there any stores you do not patronize because you don’t like the neighborhood?

     Of course. Is it the store’s fault that the surrounding area has decayed?

    No.  They moved in *after* the area decayed. Are you trying to come up with a high school report, and testing it on us? Kris

Why don’t you ask the people who issued the codes?

I don’t know how PayPal and Ebay are surviving with the enormous number of phishing scams going on. Certainly there have to be an incredible number of naive individuals who are not "internet worldly" enough to intelligently identify such scams and are giving away their account numbers and passwords like crazy. For instance, I got one of the better ones today. It said that I had a pending payment (from my PayPal) account for an item I purchased off Ebay. I knew that wasn’t possible. At the bottom of the email it had a link to *click* on to stop the payment if it was incorrect. Naturally I did not. I checked the item # at it was actually a valid Ebay item #! I know that it wouldn’t be that hard for it to pluck out a valid item in order to add credibility to the email, but it *does* show a higher level of sophistication and effort being made to steal people’s account numbers. I’m just wondering how PayPal and Ebay are surviving with this relentless attack on their security. David

Because it has nothing to do with their security. Kris

And phishing would sink them just how? It ain’t their security under attack dummy. It is yours. They ain’t robbing the bank, they are picking off the guy standing at the ATM. I am surprised they even give a shit about phishers.

PR/education only…..so that people don’t blame eBay/PayPal for giving away all their personal information, after they did it themselves. Kris

Well actually, no it doesn’t.

Well actually it does. Just as you tarnish the reputation of eBay sellers. You are a joke BrotherBoob. It would be better for all eBay sellers if you quit acting like a foul mouth 13 year old and started acting like an adult. The only reason I would be interested in your eBay user I.D. is to make sure I never made the mistake of buying anything from you.

What does a company surviving have to do with phishers targeting them? I see many more "Chase Bank" phishes than I see eBay phishes.
