Another bright idea from the big brains at Ebay

Just got email today

In recent weeks fraudulent email offers targeting listings under $200 has surged unacceptably. To keep eBay a top shopping destination we must choose safety over visibility and nip this in the bud. We recognize for some of you this may be an unwelcome limitation but we hope you'll support our putting more muscle into fraud prevention.

I called them up and gave them a piece of my mind. I had the customer rep laughing told him I was out bid on a pair of socks the sold for $1.29 and received a second chance email that I can buy it for .99 cents

He agreed that he thinks it's a silly idea but he does not make up their policy
