One More Sign World Is Shrinking – eBay Is for Suckers
I used to work at eBay Trust and Safety. The place is a nightmare and will not improve. The culture was destroyed by Meg Whitman and never recovered.<p>This kind of fraud sticks out like a sore thumb in click stream. I had no trouble finding fraud and building algorithms to automatically detect it but I did find it impossible finding someone at eBay who cared enough to do anything about it. eBay still gets paid so no one wants to be in charge of a revenue hit. I doubt that's changed.<p>Mark Carges tried to turn it around in 2008 and failed.<p>I have high hopes Facebook can move into this space.
