eBay Arms Its Site For Security
2007-03-10 06:09:01 eBay Arms Its Site For Security Security on the Net is actually an arms race in its most classic form,'’ says CEO Meg Whitman. As threats against e-commerce mount, online auction site eBay is building up its arsenal of security technologies and tactics, president and CEO Meg Whitman said Thursday at Visa USA’s security summit in Washington, D.C., adding, “Security on the Net is actually an arms race in its most classic form.” Phishing has been a huge challenge for eBay and its PayPal subsidiary, and it’s crucial that they identify as quickly as possible fraudulent sites duping customers into providing their payment information. eBay and PayPal find out about many of these fraudulent sites from users, who can report suspicious sites to spoof@ebay.com or spoof@paypal.com. Once eBay and PayPal confirm a fraudulent site, they’ll report that site to companies such as Mark Monitor that aggregate blacklisted sites and contact the site’s ISP to... More About: Ebay

Make sure you know exactly what it is that you?re bidding on at eBay. This may sound like common sense, but it’s amazing how many new eBayers lose themselves in the excitement, they forget to pay attention to the details.. Be aware of any conditions the eBay seller might have placed in the ad. These could include: method of payment, shipping and handling cost, amount of time before item will be mailed out, or any extra costs such as taxes or duties, etc. Also, when it comes to an article of clothing, or shoes, make sure to note the size, color, fabric, finishing, any possible flaws, wear and tear, or damage. This is especially important if the item is ?used?, ?pre-loved?, or ?vintage?. If there is anything you are not quite sure of, get more information from the eBay seller before you bid.

PayPal Protection For Buyers & Sellers
2007-02-23 11:56:15 PayPal Protection For Buyer s & Sell er s A Safe Way To Send Money Through The Mail On eBay, there’s no accounting for taste?or for trust. So, many eBay users turn to an electronic money transfer service called PayPal. PayPal enables anybody with an email address to send or receive money using a special account the company maintains for the user. Founded in 1998 as an independent company, PayPal was acquired by eBay in 2002. Last year, notes Sara Bettencourt, a spokesperson for PayPal, the company expanded internationally, launching local versions of PayPal in eight countries, using native currencies and native languages. For example, a German PayPal site has content written in German and lets users pay with euros. The PayPal service is tied to a user’s bank account or credit card and is backed by liquid cash kept by the company in a Wells Fargo bank account of its own. Sending money through PayPal is free.

PayPal Password-Issuing Device Goes Beta
2007-02-22 23:55:02 PayPal Password -Issuing Device Goes Beta EBay’s PayPal unit has gone to public beta with its SecurityKey two-factor authentication unit, a product of its acquisition of Verisign Payment Services. EBay is taking a loss by selling the devices for $5 to anyone who wants to participate in the public beta program, said Dan Levy, PayPal’s senior director of consumer protection. PayPal Business accounts can get the device for free. Levy wouldn’t promise that the $5 price would be maintained after the program moved beyond the beta phase. “We’re looking at a few months’ worth of feedback,” Levy said. In the contract Ebay signed with Verisign, it targeted purchasing a million of the tokens over three years. To put that number into context, PayPal alone has about 133 million customers and EBay has about 222 million registered users. Clearly, PayPal does not intend for a significant percentage of its users to purchase the device. “We don̵... More About: Paypal , Word
UK takes on eBay with new auction website?
2007-02-22 23:55:02 UK takes on eBay with new auction website… Britain’s defence ministry yesterday launched a rival to online auction site eBay, offering surplus and ex-government military equipment at knock-down prices. Among the items being sold by the Disposal Sales Agency (DSA) are “his and her” military uniforms, outdoor gear - mostly in camouflage green - seven light aircraft, three ships and an eight-person rowing boat. A ceremonial kilt (unused) and a police riot helmet (used) are also up for grabs alongside military fire engines, bullet-proof cars, buses, mechanical diggers, bulldozers and radio equipment. The goods are either ex-government or put up for sale by government contractors.

Halo 3 voice cameo role hits eBay
2007-02-22 23:55:02 Halo 3 voice cameo role hits eBay Bungie Studios, developer of the popular Halo video game series, is offering a cameo voice-over role in its highly anticipated Halo 3.

Halo 3 is expected to hit the shelves in March, and the winner of the auction will have to be ready to jump into action if they are to get it all done in time for the game’s release.

EBay has mulled limited banking charter for PayPal
2007-02-22 23:55:02 EBay has mulled limited banking charter for PayPal Officials from eBay Inc. and its payments division PayPal Inc. have recently held private discussions in Washington about the possibility of applying for a limited banking charter, according to two people familiar with the company’s moves. The charter would reduce PayPal’s dependency on partnerships with other banks. But San Jose, Calif.-based eBay’s plans were thrown into doubt last month after the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. extended its freeze for another year on all applications for deposit insurance from commercial parent companies. The issue has become politically toxic after banking applications from Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Home Depot Inc. ignited a groundswell of opposition to allowing commercial ownership of banks. The FDIC’s freeze could also make it much more difficult for eBay to obtain an industrial loan corporation, or ILC, charter. To date, 15 commercial parent companies, including T...

PayPal introduces security token
2007-02-15 05:52:06 PayPal introduces security token Online finance service PayPal, which is used by many people on eBay to pay for items, is introducing a security token to tackle fraud. The $5 (£2.57) token generates a random, six-digit code every 30 seconds which is then used as part of the login process for the website. Customers will also need to enter their user name and password. PayPal hopes the token will defeat phishing attacks which ask for login details to gain access to accounts. But more sophisticated phishing attacks which also ask for the token passcode and then act on the information quickly, or programs which sit on a computer and monitor PayPal logins, could leave accounts vulnerable to fraudsters. Security tokens are common in the business world and are often used by companies as an extra security layer when logging in to corporate networks remotely. “PayPal has been one of the top targets for phishing attacks for many years,” said analyst John Pescatore, a...

Pay Dirt: Using PayPal?s Web Controls
2007-02-13 11:51:03 Pay Dirt : Using PayPal’s Web Control s Getting paid for products and services online is a relatively new phenomenon. Nowadays, you can sell almost anything online ? but at a price. Coughing up thousands of dollars to establish your own merchant account can be daunting. Fortunately, there is an alternative: PayPal. PayPal is an online payment system owned by eBay, the world’s biggest flea market. PayPal lets eBay merchants accept electronic payments without shelling out a small fortune to Visa, MasterCard, or American Express. But it isn’t only eBay merchants who benefit: PayPal is a product in its own right. The net effect is that you can use PayPal to process electronic payments without listing your products or services on eBay, and without shelling out the aforementioned small fortune for a merchant account. For a small fee (generally 1% to 3% of the transaction amount, plus $.30 per transaction), PayPal will process electronic payments for any product or serv... More About: Paypal , Sing

Top trader banned for life over fixed eBay auctions
2007-02-12 05:48:01 Top trader banned for life over fixed eBay auctions ONE of Britain?s top eBay traders has been banned from the auction site for life after a Sunday Times investigation found that an account in the name of his ex-wife had allegedly been used to bid up the price of goods that he was selling. Computer records show that Eftis Paraskevaides, an antiquities dealer from Cambridgeshire, took bids from his former wife?s eBay account on at least 400 items. The link between seller and bidder had been hidden from customers and eBay officials because the transactions were made in her maiden name. It follows disclosures by this newspaper last week that the practice of artificially driving up prices ? known as shill bidding ? is common on eBay. It is against the site?s rules and is illegal under the 2006 Fraud Act. Paraskevaides and his ex-wife were among six users who were permanently barred from the site after The Sunday Times passed its evidence to eBay. Two others were suspended. A fo...

Internet auctioneer eBay Inc. rolled out a service for U.S. auto dealers Monday intended to drive a tenfold increase in the inventory of cars available for purchase on its Web site.
