I do not NOT want the answers. 1] How many sellers/buyers dislike the new system?___________. 2] How many sellers/buyers does AA have active?_______________. 3] How many sellers/buyers came from or still use EBAY, where this bidder hiding is prevailing?____________. 4]Has hiding done what was expected of it?_________. Just some things for you "underworked" guys at AA to think about. bob |

1. Unknown 2. Proprietary information. 3. Unknown 4. Yes. Reports of the attempted scams have gone from 5 to 10 a day on my email and phone alone to zero since we instituted the change. It has been effective for it's intended purpose. That said, understand these miserable .... (fill in the blank with your favorite invective) are moving targets. They will continue to poke around the edges looking for a feature or security flaw they can use. As they bring out new strategies, be assured we'll continue to counter them to continue to keep AuctionArms the safe and secure site it is. |

Bob, I have e-mailed twice and left a message on Manny's machine that I wish to change bugmantrap1 to something a little less simple. Think you can get me started. trapper |

Manny, your idea of having to have an account to get info is a good one, BUT, anyone with ANY name or personal info, even Elmer Fudd, can create an acccount with bogus info. SO.......with that in mind, unless you also institute a screening mechanism for new accounts, nothing will improve. |

We screen all new users. That's why requiring registration is a good idea. Without tipping our hand about what we look for, we also have the ability to block entire countries from completing their registration - without relying on what they tell us. Yeah, it's awesome. -manny |
