eBay Is A Real Steal
eBay, it seems, is fast becoming an electronic fence.
That's fence as in a place for selling stolen goodies, like in the crime shows.
Not too long ago, I saw a report on thye morning news about a woman with a successful eBay business...that she financed with $50,000 that she embezzled from her employer before retiring.
Yesterday I heard another report about a woman caught shoplifting who, it was later discovered, had $11,000 more shoplifted merchandise in her house.
Guess what she was doing with it all!
I'm pretty sure this wasn't what eBay had in mind.
