First case (ebay reaction):  Good!

Second case (game industry guy): Very good!



In cases where ebay might loose money, they react pretty fast...

No complaints from me though... it's good that they react fast. A lot of people still worry about buying and selling online, so it's in EBays best interests to make it as secure as possible.

Glad they caught them. I have been ripped off by people on Ebay before. This is one of the million reasons why the human race sucks. While some people try and make an honest living, the rest go and rip off the honest hardworking people. This does not just go for Ebay either.

Good to hear that they really can raect that fast. Not that I use eBay that much (or at all actually), but still.
