I've read the term "machine number" or "machine id" referred to several times in discussions of how az/ebay might be able to link someone to a suspended account. Probably safest route is to buy a NEW cheap computer (although creating a new user account or creating a new virtual machine for your...

I wouldn't do anything without AT LEAST getting such a request in writing. Otherwise it's just trolling spam to me.

Daily Motion website keeps trying to infect my computer with a ransomware virus for the past month or so every time I go there (using sandboxie or VMware to be safe). I tried it a few days ago and dm was still infected..

To quote Yogi Berra: "Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded" :)

Sound like the seller is stalling...I think you only have 45 days from purchase to file an INR (Item Not Received) case with ebay or paypal. I'd open a case right now or do a chargeback if ordered thru a credit card

I've heard that electronics are a bit risky because of the scammers who like to do things like swapping old products for new, and part swapping also...

I was contacted a couple years ago..someone wanted to put a link in my youtube video description. I'm not the owner of the video(s) so adsense is not an option. I didn't get back to them but I'm thinking if they had offered a specific $ amount I might have been more interested.

another thing to consider when selling a commonly vero'd item is you shouldn't underprice it by too much, that's another red flag that will have manufacturers after you, even if you're selling authentic merchandise, they dislike that very much. And no wonder, you're hurting their brand by having...

Just got this from TB - The 3 star assignments fell off a cliff over a year ago, and even the ones available were ridiculous. Like requiring the author to watch an hour-long program just to write a 250-word synopsis for a couple bucks. I don't understand why more people don't just put articles...

Isn't there a way to report this to google for them to do a manual review?

People have been making alternatives to ebay and paypal for well over a decade. There was yahoo auctions that failed. I think only through legislation will competition be possible over ebay/pp's monopoly. Perhaps the european nations have a better sense of fair play than the u.s. does, and will...
