That was exactly what I was meaning, oh well, find a new word. Morons maybe?

I just checked my email, and I have another one of those fake emails. Sigh, 2 in 2 days.

I don't find offense to the word depending on how it is used. I have a severely handicapped brother and i only get angry when people use it in a derogatory way to make them selves seem superior. But retarded is not actually wrong, handicapped is more widely used but on all my brothers medical records there is a big mix between saying retardation and disabled. I dont thinks its a big deal unless used in the wrong way. But maybe im just really light hearted lol. Anyways sorry for off topic.

Technically it means 'slow'. But over time, the term has been plastered onto mentally handicapped people. Turtles are retarded, except when in water. A 1-cylinder car is also quite retarded - and you could probably feel it, if you sat in one.

how do you find out if u were a victim I don't think I am but my mom uses Ebay and she's not the most computer educated person. I like it how Ebay doesn't even tell ppl that this happened.

Wow...that was fast. My credit card company issued me a new account number. Talk about fast risk mitigation.

I think its lame Ebay does not even announce that they have been comprimised. I mean lets face it, it is kind of in the customers best interest to know they could be potentially ripped off lol.

eBay downplay everything, truth is they are having huge problems with scammers, hackers etc.

They havn't done a thing, except tell everyone that these problems take up just a small amount of transactions and it's nothing to be concerned over.
