Title: UPDATE We have been sent unedited screenshots of the Trust and Saftey board posts. Inside the post we can see, clearly, ebay user information. Ebay has said that the credit card information shown is not linked to the accounts and this seems to have been confirmed by one ebay member so far who's name was on the list. The other information shown appears to be correct though, including email information and address informaion. The information posted is the information of the name associated with placing the post. report abuse vote down vote up Votes: +0
