Some work I supervised sampling Amazon and Ebay products for vendor
malware showed an absolutely shocking prevalence of dodgy goods.
I don't think they can stem the tide.
- kmeisthax 3y agoAmazon is perfectly willing to ban people from reselling their used Apple products. The only reason why they don't apply that treatment to memory devices is because Amazon runs on payola. Apple paid for market exclusivity and Samsung/Sandisk/etc didn't.
- smallmancontrov 3y agoThe same ebay scammer has been popping the same fraudulent listings into my feeds every few weeks for the last 8 years. Their "pay through (external url)" URL always uses Comic Sans, so I call them the "Comic Sans Scammer." If ebay was trying, I suspect that these listings would have changed a bit to evade detection, but the only thing that ever changes is the compromised account name. To ebay's credit, their support is very good once you are on the "press button, get called seconds later by a human" tier, but I also make ebay a lot of money, so I'm not sure how common it is to receive that level of service.
