EBay stuffing their partners

Can't handle some partners make money - then just claim they are fraudsters and demand the money back. What a crock of sh1te - but then eBay and CJ are just that anyway.

Ironic since shawn banned people talking about cookie stuffing on the digital point forums yet the toss pot was dropping cookies on visitors all over the place.

Rearrange the words... yes I know this isn't quite the same but it is nice to see somebody trying to rip eBay off for once, as they have spent the last year rewriting terms and conditions, and charging structures, to rip off its own users...
