eBay “Lays Down the Law” at 4th Annual Training Event
Hello Everyone,
I wanted to give you a quick look into a very interesting event that I attended this past Tuesday, November 18: eBay’s fourth annual, one-day training event for law enforcement officials. Over 100 federal, state and local U.S. law enforcement officers from the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, U.S Postal Service, the U.S. Secret Service and others were on hand to learn how eBay can help assist them in their investigations with both tools and resources.

One final flak jacket reference
A report issued yesterday by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) looked at the issue of military goods that were either stolen or not disposed of properly turning up on online sites. The GAO conducted its investigation between January 2007 and March 2008.
eBay VP and Deputy General Counsel for Government Relations, Tod Cohen, testified on this issue yesterday before the House Subcommittee on Government Oversight and Oversight Reform Subcommittee on National Security and Foreign Affairs. Jim Buckmaster, CEO of Craigslist, also testified.
Since 1995, eBay has created the most proactive and comprehensive policies to combat the sale of illegal items, covering over 60 classifications of prohibited and restricted items, including banned military items, firearms, prescription drugs, counterfeit goods and drug paraphernalia. More information about eBay’s policies on military items can be found here.
Further, it was pointed out that during 2007, eBay’s Global Law Enforcement Organization assisted law enforcement agencies around the globe in 66,132 investigations and assisted law enforcement in the arrest or conviction of 518 individuals linked to 375 unique investigations.
