I never thought I would see the day! An email I received this evening:


Hello Mercenary,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your efforts in reporting listings for matrix schemes to eBay. Your concern for the eBay community and welfare of the internet community in general is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Name removed for privacy

Community Liaison

eBay Trust & Safety



Well, they spelled my username wrong...but I won't be picky!!!

Wow, getting a thank you like that makes it worth the effort, eh?

mercInary, you should buy a good old wooden frame for the email! 5 years later, you can auction it on ebay for thousands for dollars! :bow: to eBay :D

Hey...if they spelled your name wrong than that means somebody actually typed it, and didn't just find a form letter! Good job!

Dreamer,

LOL....I thought the same thing actually. I'm in the process of composing a short reply. I want to try to see if I can get a non-form-reply dialog going with someone over there. If that happens, I might be able to use the auction info from our database to get someone's attention......we'll see what happens.

That is great! It's nice to know all your hard work is being noticed.
Oh my! I just noticed this thread is over a year old.

Nah. I haven't heard squat from them. I doubt the other watchdogs have either (Jokach or Weirdid).
