I submitted ebay.com to rfc-ignorant.org for this RFC violation almost a year ago (which they of course accepted): http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/tools/detail.php?domain=ebay.com&submitted=1029353643&table=abuse Companies like this could simply care less. If you don't run a mail system with "customers" expecting to receive mail from ebay then I'd recommend blocking ebay.com. That would include their subsidiary, paypal.com, which BTW is also listed on RFCi. At the least I'd score their mail against the RFCi RHSBLs and add a score of 1. Justin On Sun, 3 Aug 2003, David G.

To add to the eternally annoying list of companies that ignore abuse@ mail... ebay now requires that you fill in their lovely little web form to send them a note. Even if, say, you're trying to let them know about another scam going around that tries to use the machine www.hnstech.co.kr to extract people's credit card information.
Has anyone had success in convincing companies that this is just A Bad Idea (ignoring abuse mail), and if so, how did you manage to do it?
Sorry for the slightly non-operational content, but I've had it with ebay on this one.
