"Investigations are underway into the rapper's own camp to find the culprit who tried to pirate the tracks before they were spotted by an Interscope executive, according to New York's Page Six."

hehe,

I used the online form to Safe Harbor, asking a very specific question to solve a problem I am having with an Ebay buyer.

Funny, I get an answer back, sounds pretty formal, but non specific. Basically telling me that we aren't responsible blah blah....

I wrote into Safe Harbor again, I get another response, EXACT SAME RESPONSE, word for word. Nice form letter response eh!!!!!!!

What the hell. Do you know what I had to go through to speak to an actual human being at Ebay???? Then when I finally did, well sir, you will have to fill out a Safe Harbor form (which wouldn't work because the auction is already out of the system, as well as the purchaser!!!!!), finally I found a form that worked, sorta...... damn, do you know how easy they make it to find these online forms????? (being very sarcastic).

Ebay......... You take my money, which is fine, but please, when there is a problem, and I need help, please make it seem like you're really doing something to help me out here.

Whatever..........

Here is what they wrote back: Email 1, Email 2. The difference is the name that appears at the end of the email, and a few other minor differences. Total form letter response.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to write to us with your concerns. I am happy to assist you further.

I am sorry for the frustration and concern you have experienced in this situation. While I know it might not feel like it right now, please be assured that eBay has done all that it can to help you in this matter while still staying within the strict guidelines of our Member
Agreement.

Please remember that eBay does not participate in the buying or selling of any items. We simply provide a place where our members can meet to sell, and buy just about anything, at anytime, from anywhere, in a variety of formats, including a fixed price format and an auction-style format commonly referred to as an "online auction."

As eBay is not involved in the actual transaction between Buyers and Sellers, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the items advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of Sellers to sell items or the ability of Buyers to buy items. We cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction.

Think of eBay like an Internet version of the newspaper classifieds. We help buyers and sellers find each other, but we take no responsibility for the merchandise changing hands. If a transaction goes wrong on eBay,
you need to address this with your transaction partner - just as if a car you bought through the classifieds broke down, you wouldn't call the newspaper that printed the ad, you would contact the seller.

If you are having a hard time resolving this situation with your buyer or seller, please refer to our help pages for some useful information:

Again, I sympathize with your situation. I know you must be very frustrated right now, and I'm very sorry. Please understand that there is simply nothing more we can do in this case. I hope that this information will be helpful to you. You also may want to look into our Q&A board and ask for some advice of our other Members. This page can be found at:

EMAIL RESPONSE #2

Hello Myron,

Thank you for writing eBay in regards to this situation. I can understand your frustrations and I would be happy to assist you with your concerns.

I am sorry for the frustration and concern you have experienced in this situation. While I know it might not feel like it right now, please be assured that eBay has done all that it can to help you in this matter while still staying within the strict guidelines of our Member

you need to address this with your transaction partner - just as if a car you bought through the classifieds broke down, you wouldn't call the newspaper that printed the ad, you would contact the seller.

In this case, I would advise you to request contact information and contact your trading partner by telephone if you have not done so already. eBay encourages open and honest communication, and we believe that these issues can often be resolved with a conversation. To request your transaction partner's contact information, please follow the steps
below:

1. Click the "Search" button at the top of any eBay page.
2. Click the "find members" button that will appear below the Search
button.
3. On the "Find Members" page, scroll down to the second box, labeled
"Contact Information" and follow the instructions there.

Before I let you go, I would like to help you protect yourself from fraudulent emails that ask for sensitive personal information like credit card numbers, passwords, etc. Just because an email message looks
like it is sent directly from eBay, it isn't always. To learn more about protecting yourself from fake or "spoof" emails, visit our User Account Protection page. Simply cut and paste this Web address into your browser

Thanks again for writing eBay.

Kindest Regards,
