ChrisJones 7,975 Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Sad state of affairs. You're taxed on your income. Taxed at 85% on fuel and taxed 17.5% VAT on almost everything you buy. The money you use on the bay has been through the tax mans hands already and yet he needs another slice... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
borderterrier 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 A WORD OF WARNING. If you have a 100% Ebay feedback rating check your "My Ebay" every 2-3 days. On 2 occasions the old man has had his account hijacked, both times by the yanks. They cracked his password then changed the account email address then created a new password. On the 1st occasion they listed a 1969 Corvette, and the 2nd time a fridge that looked like the Tardis. It is always a 3 day auction with a very reasonable "Buy it now" price, only accepting "Paypal" as method of payment. The idea being you "Buy it now", pay for it and then they are off.They always use a Hotmail account as well. Someone is out of pocket and you are left to try and sort it out. The 2nd time Ebay removed the item before the old man even knew it had been listed. PASSWORDS Every password can be cracked,only some are easier than others. There's software out there that will happily try 500,000 combinations/sec. So, the shorter the word the easier it is to crack. Use the max amount of letters, mix in upper and lower case and numbers.Avoid using words that appear in the dictionary. A 5/6 letter combination will be cracked in minutes, a 15+ letter combination will take over 14 days. Hopefully they'll get sick and move on to someone else before then. From what Ebay were saying this happens more often than you would imagine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
