AuctionCut

March 27, 2007

ValUShops, a Midday Avertiser Group company, was suspended by eBay Thursday, March 22, 2007 for "infringement of trademark and copyright" of the Cc brand for fraudulent listings placed under the ValUShops eBay ID by hackers apparently working from within the eBay auction platform.

An ongoing investigative series centered on this bay hacking began the following day at the main Midday news site Midday.ws and also appears for comment at MiddayBLOG.com and on the affected company's site, ValUShops.com.

The Midday News (Midday.com) has created a new website BayHACK.com on March 26, 2007 for archiving all investigative coverage and public response from those auction sellers, buyers, and participants directly or indirectly bay hacked on eBay North America and on eBay, Inc. international sites. An additional backup reserve domain, BayHACKED.com, will re-direct to the new site.

All aspects of eBay performance at all levels will be covered.

Uh-OH, you started to cut into the sales of one of e-Bay's Big Power sellers with a 24/7 direct phone number. They called, Bawled like a baby, you got cut!

Sorry, I know the feeling! I have had it happen to me too! Go to the ebaypigs . com site and get their link to the BBB in their hometown in California, and file a complaint aginst them. Enough of us do it, the BBB may force e-bay to be a bit more attentive to their registeres sellors.
