I think it's basically the rules on ebay. Even if the seller (or buyer)
is
a
scammer, the rules state quite succinctly that you may not use any
personal
information in a public arena. This really includes the posting of
sellers
as scammers on usenet, and could technically get the poster's account
closed. That being said, I doubt that ebay has people out gleaning usenet
for posts about their clientele.


EBay is self policing, and relies on complaints from users to become aware
of problems. If no one complains, no action will be taken.


Understood, but they have a system for that, and it is discouraged to use
the public forums on ebay for this purpose.
