Unbelievable! (eBay)

Last week when all this came to light about the eBay buyer "kennedydepp"
paying with counterfeit cashier checks I went to eBay boards and posted a
note. I went to the Jewelry board, because that was what this scum bag was
mostly buying and warned them about kennedydepp.

So today I get the following from eBay:

Update on eBay buyer Kennedydepp WARNING

As some of you may know "kennedydepp" bought over 16K worth of stuff
in a very short time last week. This buyer had 0 feedback. It turns
out that she was paying with counterfeit cashier checks. I warned
ebay about it, of course they did nothing (even her contact info was
bad), she still has not been NARU'd. I put all the information
together and forwarded it to the police where she was using a mail
drop, The police called me and told me they had enough evidence with
what I had sent and she has been arrested and any merchandise that
shows up at the mail drop will be returned.

Meanwhile eBay still does NOTHING!

The following was my reply to them:

You're out of your mind. I pay you thousands in fees and when some thief
pays with COUNTERFEIT cashiers checks and I warn others, you come after me??
This was when eBay had not NARU'D the buyer! Get a life, go after the bad
guys and leave the good guys alone.

As difficult as it is, I guess we should all just sit back, watch people get
pimped by unscrupulous vendors, and hope that the victims pursue their own
cases. I completely empathize with your frustration, but also know that we
are dealing with a bureaucratic monolith that has grown far faster than its
ability to police its own users. Hope I don't get NARU'd for saying this.

I guess they feel that no matter what the moral attitude of the buyer,as
long as they're getting their fees,they'll let them go on raping the
innocent as long as they're getting their cut.
Perhaps they should review their own policies-it seems that they forgot
them.
