  • I cannot belive this cannot be stopped by applying simple database scan. They are visible pretty good for those who deals with them. Of course we never find how Alkaida communicates if we cannot fight this.

  • Most bogus listings can be easily found. If many members can search for 1 or 2 keywords to find and report hundreds of listings, why can't eBay do the same? They could implement a screening system, but that ain't as important to them as other things, like finding more ways for sellers to pay more fees!
