All, A few days ago I warned of a seller on Ebay who, after not getting his hoped for price from my friend, sent him the dongle, but only after taking a hammer to it. Just happens Chris works as a senior systems engineer for Ebay. He gave me the guys details to post here so you can avoid him if you are bidding on a FCD:

It's good to know that a members personal information is never released by unethical employees. Is this the way you would want your information broadcast? There are processes in place for deceptive sellers which should have been used. I know I won't be relying on eBays privacy policy any longer. I will forward your email to eBay along with my request for flushing my info thanks to you.

AGREE...It is TOTALLY inappropriate for Rick to post this kind of information. (potentially libelous also)
Ebay has remedies for the seller.
The Ebay employee that released the information to Rick should be terminated at a minimum, and maybe charged criminally.
Lastly, whoever moderates this board should have killed it before allowing it to be posted
Ted, K7TRK

For the record, Chris did not access the seller's information by any backdoor means. The information is freely available once a transaction is completed, which is how he got the info:
Any buyer or seller can request the contact information for the buyer or seller after a transaction is complete. That is what I did. I did not "hack" or use internal methods to acquire his information. I clicked a button on our website.
This is what you use to contact a buyer.. notice the bottom part:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/buy/contact.html
To request your seller's contact information:
1. Click the Advanced search link at the top of most pages.
2. Click the Find contact information link in the Members section on the left side of the page.
3. Enter the seller's user ID and item number.
4. Click the Search button.
Thought I'd set the record straight.
