bayscks,

Thank you for the honest discussion. We agree on the main points.

eBay needs to do even more to combat bad behavior. At this point we need to prove it to you instead of telling you we are just working on it.

eBay is an excellent target for bad guys. We are the biggest. If I was a scammer I would target eBay as well. It does not surprise me that you do not receive similar emails from on competitor sites. Many of the phishing emails are sent to an email address from a purchased list. The scammer has no idea if that person has an eBay account or not. Chances are just good that they do. Others are more focused and send emails through eBay. This will stop.

There is not currently Vehicle Purchase Protection program in Motorcycle categories like there is in the Passenger Vehicles categories. We hope to change this in the next few months.

Thanks again. Hopefully we can have a discussion in a few months about the improvements you are seeing. Feel free to email me any time with concerns and suggestions.

Regards,
Zak
eBay Motors
