Order of Canada Medal Auctioned Through Email, Not EBay
Danielle Godard - All Headline News Staff Writer
Toronto, Canada (AHN) - One of the first Order of Canada medals given out is being auctioned off through e-mail after eBay refused to let the owner flog it on its site.
The medal is being auctioned anonymously and has had expressions of interest from hundreds of interested buyers.
Nearly 40 years ago, Quebec historian Gustave Lanctot was awarded the medal and at the time of eBay's removal of the auction, the bidding had already reached $15,000 and received 8,500 hits to the website.

eBay launches business high-fliers
Auction sites are increasingly being recognized as a breeding ground for serious business men and women, as the growing band of entrepreneurs making a healthy living out of selling their wares online can testify.
Clare Price is one of them.
The 32-year-old left the security of a high-flying job to set up in business on eBay.
Once operations director of an IT services business -- working on the customer service, not technology, side of the business -- she started trading online two years ago, after netting a bargain in the January sales.
Price, from Hayling Island, near Portsmouth, snapped up limited edition Italian designer lamps for £5 ($9.79) each, and made six times that after selling them for £70 per pair.
She then sourced other lamps from a department store supplier and bought a car-full. She sold them within a week.

Directions to his stolen GPS? Found it on eBay
A would-be customer, shopping on eBay for a new GPS satellite system, found one that fit the bill a little too perfectly: It's the one that was stolen from him.
Danial Rangkar, 25, of Great Neck, was awaiting arraignment Monday on a charge of criminal possession of stolen property after allegedly trying to sell not only the victim's stolen GPS device, but dozens of other electronic items including laptop computers, digital cameras, iPods, cellphones and other hand-held communications devices.
The name of his attorney was not immediately available.

Fraud on eBay: Causes and Cures
EBay's success makes it a huge target on the Internet. Scammers are attracted to eBay like moths to a flame; the problem is that it's the eBay buyers and sellers who wind up burned. While unsuspecting bidders are the main prey of the crooks, sellers are also bilked when their accounts are hijacked and when scammers hack into and clean out PayPal and linked bank accounts. EBay sellers pay an additional price in the general loss of trust in the site as it becomes increasingly perceived as riddled with flim-flam artists, driving away buyers.
It Can Happen to YouSellers are often the last to know when their accounts have been hijacked, as I discovered. One morning, about a year ago, I received an eBay e-mail inquiring about shipping costs for a John Deere tractor being sent to North Carolina. Since I only sold books on eBay and have never even sat on a tractor, this caught my attention. But I had been selling on eBay for six years without a problem, I never responded to phishing e-mails, and experience taught that occasionally such buyer e-mails went astray on the site's server, so I paid it no mind.
Several days later, the hammer dropped: eBay closed my account, and I was told that a scammer hacked my password and was piling in high-ticket items under my name. Since it is virtually impossible for anyone but power sellers to talk on the phone with an eBay rep empowered to solve problems, (generic phone reps, the only phone help available for the rest of eBay's members, always steer the caller to live chat or e-mails,) the road back involved changing my password and a multi-e-mail/live chat, week-long process of having several hundred dollars in scammer-generated listing fees reversed.

eBay's Listing Limbo
eBay (EBAY - commentary - Cramer's Take - Rating) kicked off the week on the wrong foot.
Shares of eBay continued to slip in afternoon trading on Monday after bearish analyst reports about the number of listings on the company's site.
The stock was recently off $1.20, or 3.9%, to $29.59, following a drop of almost 3% on Friday.
Piper Jaffray analyst Safa Rashtchy wrote that his firm's count of eBay's fourth-quarter listings suggests that they will be 8% to 11% below his estimates. Rashtchy says the shortfall in listings could cause eBay, which announces earnings on Jan. 24, to miss Wall Street revenue estimates by $50 million to $70 million.
