This is a great site. Your advice save me at least $500 before I dump my money into couple of these problematic matrix sites. Thanks.

I guess I should do something in return. These are the two on going auctions on eBay by two sellers.

I am not 100% sure what matrix-site info they refer to, but I have good reason to believe that they are selling:

Of course, I might be wrong, but I am pretty sure that they are selling matrix-site's info because I have email exchange with one of the seller.

My question is: Is it legal to auction these kind of info on eBay? I know one possible violation is that they should not place their 'info only' acutions at the 'product' category.

Glad that we could be a help to you. Matrix Watch is accepting donations to fund some of our future endeavors. We would appreciate your support.

Yes, it is against eBay's policy to list information auctions in the product categories. Anything matrix-site related will quickly be cancelled. Make sure that you use the report forum at eBay to report these auctions.

I did not realize you have a special forum for Matrix auction..:-)

I study the previous posts and make a report to eBay.

Of course, I also made a small donation!

Keep up your good job!

Hmmm... the matrix-sites auctions on ebay are still alive! ..:-( May be eBay is too busy, or to many to deal with?

They are actually pretty diligent at getting rid of these auctions, and they take our reports quite seriously.

PD, how have we not found this clown before.

ycchen...also, email the bidders and tell them it's a scam. Most don't know it. Thanks for the info and get posting these auction links and we'll keep reporting them.
