Yes, only a dope would, but they also push the guarantee thing. And what possible excuse do they have for allowing the "pre-authorized bidder" format? That's just a set-up to get contact info.

It's a mixed msg. from e-Bay, even if you're being generous and giving them the benefit of the doubt. I don't expect them to be able to clean up all instances of fraud. But, they could easily close the biggest loopholes.
