"My judgemet is that its incumbent upon EBay to provide a more secure interface to nip this in the bud."It is the Americian way to remove the responsibility of your own actions away from you and onto someone else... Pft... Its your personal responsibility to not fall for a phishing scheme. Not eBay's. Not anyone elses. thats like saying its gmails fault i fell for a phishing email scam, and that they need better spam filters so I dont have to educate myself to fight against it.
This happned to me. Fortunately I have different passwords on my ebay account and paypal otherwise some guy in Germany would have gotten a free motorcycle from me.
"The company has methods in place to fight fraud and employs about 1,000 people whose fulltime job it is to keep the marketplace safe."Anyone care to wager on how much that figure is inflated by?
