adzoox's Journal: I've discovered a conspiracy on eBay ..... about Squaretrade

Here's a scenario: say SquareTrade hasn't met it's monthly "sales target" - sales consist of getting sellers to have an official logo and "insurance / assurance" seal within their auctions and on their websites + $20 feedback removal charges. Why would there NOT be motivation for some bidding within auctions and then being REALLY picky and leaving a neutral or negative for someone that has A) Has a history of removing feedbacks or B) Looks like a good candidate because they have used the Squaretrade service before. What I'm getting at here is that I'm suspecting that Squaretrade is participating in fraud. I think employees or friends of friends at Squaretrade are bidding on what they need on eBay then HOPING that a few of those will PAY to have the feedback removed.

I have always suspected that this type of jail bond way of looking at feedback removal was problematic, but I have a few examples recently that almost confirm my accusation. Maybe an attorney will read this someday and want to contact me. I'll definitely route it through the search engines.
