Dear Sir:  

It has come to my attention that Greg Iverson  (giverson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) has been suspended from e-Bay for  allegedly breaking e-Bay's privacy rules by publishing e-Bay member  contact information to the following sites:  

http://student.ucr.edu/~siddim01/listebay.txt 
http://zuiko.sls.bc.ca/swright/archives/2000/msg10095.html 

While my contact information does not appear on the second site, it  does appear on the first.  Please be advised that:

1.  I *voluntarily* provided my contact information for the purposes of  having it appear on that site;

2.  I do *not* object to having my contact information appear on that site;

3.  I do *not* object to Mr. Iverson's actions, if any, in causing my  contact information to appear on that site; and

4.  I do *not* wish to have my contact information *removed* from that  site.

I do wish e-Bay would have contacted me (and every other member  who's contact information appears on those sites) *before* suspending  Mr. Iverson for allegedly breaking e-Bay's rules.  Had e-Bay done so, it  would be obvious that there has NOT been a breach of e-Bay's rules  because every person who's e-Bay contact information appears on  those sites *consented* in advance.

Please understand that while I appreciate e-Bay's efforts to protect my  privacy, in THIS case e-Bay has overstepped its bounds and made a  BIG mistake!  On that basis, I ask that e-Bay immediately reinstate Mr.  Iverson's membership, and issue him an apology.   

Regards,

Chris O'Neill
