What other sights? I'm not listing on ebay right now. Suspended for some outlandish reason. To complicated to deal with them. Any suggestions?

this is the whole stoty from san jose mercury news :



PayPal campus closes as federal agents probe cause of explosion
By Sandra Gonzales and Kimra McPherson
Mercury News

Len Vaughn-Lahman / Mercury News
ATF evidence agents gather material at eBay's campus this morning, following an explosion Tuesday night.EBay's North San Jose campus is closed this morning and federal law enforcement officials continue to search around a building at the company's PayPal division after an explosion Tuesday night shattered a window and forced the evacuation of 26 employees.

FBI, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and San Jose police investigators appeared to be digging with shovels at the site this morning.

No one was injured inside the company's four-story network operations center at 2211 N. First St. in San Jose, and no explosive devices were found in the rest of the company's 100,000-square-foot complex, which police had cordoned off Tuesday night. Yellow police tape strung across the main parking lot this morning.

EBay officials say eBay and PayPal service has not been disturbed. Many of the processes that keep the sites running can be handled from other locations, eBay spokesman Hani Durzy said.

Authorities still have not said what exploded, but Durzy said he'd been told it was a device of some kind.

``Whatever caused it was pretty strong,'' San Jose Fire Capt. Jose Guerrero said.

About 1,900 eBay employees work at the North San Jose campus, which includes PayPal headquarters, technology staff and the network operations center, spokesman Hani Durzy said. Employees at that campus were invited to work at the company's other San Jose location or dial in from home, he said.

When PayPal employee Dan Hyder arrived for work this morning, he was told the office was closed and given a flier explaining what had happened. He walked around the site for a while after, taking pictures of the investigators milling around the building where he used to work.

``It's bizarre,'' said Hyder, who now works in a different building and had already left work by the time the incident began Tuesday night.

Authorities received multiple reports of a smoke detector alarm sounding at 7:34 p.m., Guerrero said, followed a few minutes later by multiple calls of an explosion.

When crews arrived, they found a 6-by-7-foot window had been shattered near a first-floor exit between the network operations center and a nearby building at 2161 N. First St. The window's frame was bent and a light haze covered the area, Guerrero said. No flames, however, were visible, nor was there any other damage. Other debris was in the area, said Guerrero, who couldn't say Tuesday night exactly what the debris was.

``It wasn't anything radioactive,'' Guerrero said.

Meanwhile, teams from the federal ATF, San Jose fire's hazardous-materials crew and the San Jose police bomb squad were roaming the buildings. Guerrero said no other explosive devices were found.

Authorities have suspicions about what may have caused the blast, Guerrero said, but he declined to disclose them. No threats were reported ahead of the explosion, Guerrero said. San Jose police are taking over the investigation.

``It was fortunate that no one was hurt,'' said Catherine England, an eBay spokeswoman.

England encouraged employees to check their e-mail and to call the emergency numbers on backs of their badges before heading to work today. Durzy said the company hopes to have the North San Jose campus open for work on Thursday.

``We have no reason to assume it was anything other than an isolated incident,'' he said.

Ebay is quickly becoming the "Evil Empire".

We all want to blow up Paypal every so often. I'd never do it but I'm sure it would have felt good.

I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt though.

I believe in Karma.

With what Ebay and Paypal does to destroy the lives of honest people, their Karma is truly very bad and I am sure that this is just the beginning.


I guess it would be safe to assume that everyone should remove their funds in Paypal...this would most likely create the effect of a bank-run...

The truth will come out that Paypal is a ponzi scheme.

Most likely freezing innocent accounts to pay other accounts.
