    "Thinking of using PayPal? Read this first! www.paypalwarning.com. c2it is much better and they are a real FDIC-insured bank, Citibank."
    I put this in my auction on eBay and they cancelled all my listings. How could they find it? Surely they can't look at everybod's auction.

    They probably have their system set up to flag any new postings containing certain keywords for human review. Either that or somebody just happened to notice it.

    Considering how many auctions go through PayPal, I wouldn't be surprised if they checked for "paypalwarning".

    I guess I could make a little jpeg that has "paypalwarning on it instead of text as a link. They wouldn't be able to pick that up would they?

    I don't know, probably not. I don't work for ebay, so I don't know exactly what they do. I just made an educated guess that they do the same type of thing as some other sites that deal with a large volume of user posted material.
