CALGARY (CBC) - EBay is not responsible for criminals who abuse its online auction service, said a company spokeswoman after CBC News reported on a Calgary man who lost $20,000 on an eBay transaction.
"That's an internet problem, not an eBay problem," Erin Sufrin said Monday about criminals engineering scams through the service.
