Unfortunately, eBay is essentially the only resource for the items I collect. It has
essentially wiped out flea markets and, because it's indexed and searchable, is
better than dealers, most of whom have little taste for WW II gear anyway.

I can't remember getting a meaningful response from them, no matter the topic...
fraudulent sellers, search engine crocks, silly listing policies, or even phishers.
If you send them a phishing complaint, they send you back spam on phishing. I
OBVIOUSLY KNOW what it is, since I sent them the complaint...  duhhhhhh !!

I wonder if it's done by some stupid 'bot that just looks for key words and replies
with a canned spam message.
