Is there any option to eBay for online auctions?
I received a message from eBay in my juno.com account concerning my
supposed failure to honor a transaction. In fact I had no eBay transactions, neither buying nor selling. I replied to sender, so informing eBay, using my juno.com email client program. Subsequently my juno.com account was terminated. I was told "It has come to our attention that you ..." In other words, juno.com acted against me on the basis of someone's words which were not made known to me. I was told to contact their Legal Department, which has not responded. Certainly I believe that eBay has made me a third party to a transaction between two parties not known to me. David Ames APS member |

Just a personal observation David.
I regularly receive "failed to honor a transaction" notices, notices I have won a bid, notices from my internet provider updating requirements notices from my bank, and at leat 3 others that my account needs servicing. notices to update ebay (I have never bought from ebay) All scams, each and every one. I treat all notices as bogus unless advised by snail mail. Just delete as they arrive. Even then, I tried opening a Youtube movie the other day regarding spinning drumsticks, it required I update to a new version of quik view, I did and received a nasty trojan. I would suggest you have been scammed. When you replied to sender or clicked a link, I trust you did not disclose any account numbers names etc. HTH Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let not this blind you to what virtue there is; wrote in message ... I received a message from eBay in my juno.com account concerning my supposed failure to honor a transaction.

All of those messages *** could *** be sent to . *I have sent many, many of these messages. *Some users have been removed, in the process of scamming. *One was dumb enough to put his own personal web page out there with a fake log in. *He was gone in short order. Ignore all of these e-mails or forward them. It does stink that juno thought you were scamming. *There are plenty of free e-mail sites out there. AOL wouldn't do that. G Ralphael, the OLD one |

David Ames APS member- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Yep, you are a victim of fake crap intended to get you to fall into their trap. I receive some of these same things and like Rodney clicked on one just to see what it was all about. I thought my 4 Spyware/Malware programs would protect me. Unfortunately they didn't and I got a real nasty infection which forced my computer guru to dig into his bag of tricks to rid my computer of the bug. ( $60 fee ) Ralphael, the OLD one |

David Ames APS member My question stands: whether there is some alternative to eBay's online auctions. Let me be more specific and add more detail, as evidently some people think there was some excuse for eBay and juno. I received a nastygram from some client of eBay, complaining that I had failed to deliver merchandise. I have no idea what the merchandise was, nor who were the parties tio the transaction. I have no idea whether there was in fact a transaction. I made no inquiries and I did not enter into correspondence with a person who wanted to grind his ax against me. It simply did not concern me. Subsequently I received a complaint from eBay about my supposed failure to deliver. I responded to eBay -- to the same eBay email address that accused me. I never had any offer to sell through eBay, nor any offer to purchase. The problem was eBay's problem, not mine. But it would appear that eBay took action which resulted in the loss of my juno.com account. Juno.com offers no explanation, except that "It has come to our attention that you ..."

David Ames APS member David--it is almost certain that ALL of the e-mails you received were NOT from eBay or from a real eBay customer. The "client of eBay" was a fake. The "complaint from eBay about a failure to deliver" was a fake. Thus when you responded, the problem was yours, not eBay's as eBay had not ever been involved. Thus there was no need for an "excuse for eBay," but then again, they never were involved. The Juno e-mail may or may not have been a fake also. If you cannot access your Juno account, then it probably was real. While none of this should seem to lead to your question about other on-line auction sites, a European site with a great amount of material is Delcampe. Stan |

David Ames APS member ================================================== = And why You simply didn't ignore this kind of mail, because You know that nothing in connection with You and eBay existed?!!!!! When You reply to this mail, one independent software "grabbed" Your address and used it to spread spam and other "garbage" - normally - because it was lot-lot of spam from Your "stolen" address delivered to others accounts, juno.com automatically suspended Your account just to prevent further "shipment" of this spam. Your problem is that You RESPOND to someone without checking "properties" of mail delivered to You. best regards to all Chastven Miloje http://balkanstamp.blogspot.com |

Check the eBay message again. Did it say "Hello [Your Real Name]" at the top, or did it say "Hello eBay User" or "Hello eBay Community Member" or something of the sort? If it said anything other than the first, it is certainly a form of fraud called "phishing" in which worrisome messages are sent to innocents in order to get them to divulge sensitive information. If the cancellation of your Juno account has happened (I'm not being condescending, but you've checked if you can sign in, and that the Juno message wasn't more phishing, right?) it's probably something you can challenge on the grounds of ignorance if you get someone with a pulse to read your email at Juno. Thing is, though, Juno is really lousy decade-old technology. Gmail is free and a trillion times better. I'll send you an invitation by email. As for other auction sites, am I right in understanding that you weren't using eBay in the first place? But no matter. StampWants and Delcampe are two others. SW is American with a profound North American bias. Delcampe is more cosmopolitan, with lots of languages and differing terms and conditions, and much more "wild west". But because it's so cheap to sell on D*, a lot of people sell stuff for, like, three euro-cents, so you can pick up stuff to fill holes for nothing. If you're American, you may now have trouble signing up for the preferred payment system, which is MoneyBookers, due to new MB restrictions regarding their facilitation of wagering by US nationals. -- Joshua McGee, Los Angeles, California, USA Member: APS, ATA, ISWSC, AFDCS, MBPC, MCC, BPS President: http://www.penguinstamps.info Trade?: http://www.mcgees.org/stamp-offers/ |

Odd that they would email him in the first place, to steal his email address, isn't it? You don't even need a valid sender's email address to send any email. I can send an email now from " and the mail system would be quite happy with it. So, I'm not so sure why anyone, particularly spammers, would go to such trouble. I'm sure there is some logic behind it, somewhere. I'd be more worried about clicking on the email's links and logging into something. If they get access to his eBay account, or worse, paypal, there's more trouble brewing than being kicked off of juno. Would they be clever enough to shut down his email access so as to have more time with a hacked account? It's hard to tell you've been hacked if you don't have internet access. But then, he's posting here, so that isn't the issue. Nick |
