Interview with an eBay Vigilante

Interview with an eBay Vigilante: "vigilante (vi-j&-'lan-tE): n. - a person who tries in an unofficial way to prevent crime, or to catch and punish someone who has committed a crime, especially because they do not think that official organizations, such as the police, are controlling crime effectively. Vigilantes usually join together to form groups.

The following is an interview with one such person.
