Before joining eBay I had the opinion that there was very little information that eBay or Paypal had on their buyers and sellers.
I have been pleasantly surprised, in fact I believe we have more information on sellers and paypal users than I had on associates oin my retail stores when leading a Loss Prevention fucntion.
So anonymous to an outsider does not mean anonymous is a fact….
Here is an article that I came across today.

If your a retailer and want to work with eBay in a collaborative manner to reduce stolen goods, please email me at pajones@ebay.com
This blog is my personal blog written from the persepective of a 25 year Loss Prevention Executive. I have paid my dues in our industry and am entitled to my opinion. I have no misconception that my opinions are always correct or the only opinion. I am always open to learning more and reflecting on my position.
