Instructions

What we would like to see eBay change

Immediately suspend the accounts of sellers who receive more than one report of fraudulent sales. Permanently bar those with proven fraudulent activity - or at least notify potential buyers of pending eBay or criminal investigations.

Provide a "potential fraud alert" for any seller who builds a positive feedback rating selling small-dollar items who then offers a bunch of high-dollar items for sale.

Prevent sellers who are removed from eBay from resuming their fraudulent activities under a different member name.

Increase eBay's Fraud Guarantee from the current, paltry $200, and publicize this limit so buyers will be forewarned.

Remove the "pre-sale" option (allows sellers to purchase an item AFTER an eBay buyer has sent them their payment) to avoid the potential for misappropriation funds.
