eBay is getting a black eye in Australia today after it was learned that one of its sellers was in the practice of publishing detailed information about eBay customer transactions on his own website.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper, the seller going by the eBay User name "shahizanhashim" published names, phone numbers, postal addresses, email addresses and details about what customers purchased on its website, leaving it unsecured for anyone to access via a Google search.
The newspaper said eBay was able to remove the website tropicalsale.com. But EcommerceBytes was able to retrieve eBay transaction data from the site that was cached in Google, including buyers' User IDs, Tracking Numbers, Date shipped, Dollar amount, Country, and Shipping status.
