The perplexing question is: if we can find and track this eBay scammer on eBay so easily and consistently without any resources or priviledged security tools, why does not a multi billion dollar company ( eBay ) care enough to squash this scammer? Do they not care about safety of eBay customers? Or are there just too many eBay scammers and the fraud is so wide-spread through eBay that eBay team of over 2000 fraud prevention staff just cannot keep up?
