Prof F:

I find this not quite true. I just got an email from ebay changing
the Terms of Service.

It did NOT show up in the internal mybay message system, which seems
reserved for spam-type things such as on-line chats on how to
peddle more snowballs to polar bears, etc.

Granted my email didn't have login links, but it did have clickable
links back to eBay's ToS, etc...

That said; ebay does have a major problem, as do the banks etc.
It's not clear how they will solve it.
