Story: Hackers attack eBay accounts

Hey,

I was suckered into a laptop deal for $1250 through what appeared to be a reputable ebay account. He posted the auction, it was then canceled. I contacted him outside of it and agreed to a price. I sent him the money through western union under my name as the receiver so he couldn't touch the money until I got the package and changed the receivers name. He got a fake id under my name and stole the money. The thing is, the ebay name he posed under is extremely reputable and I believe it was hacked into like this article describes. I have no where to turn to. I am only 18 and have lost what I worked for the entire summer. ($1250). Please let me know if you know of anyone I can contact for a lawsuit or anyway I can get my money back. Waiting eagerly,
Jason

I wonder, who needs .asia domain? I cannot imagine, what would be useful for Microsoft.asia? Toyota.asia? Then let's register .europe (if .eu is too short). Or perhaps Microsoft.southamerica, Dell.australiaandnewzealand, Coca-Cola.africa... Sound funny? Then why not just use the global and country domains? Or perhaps it is time to drop the domains at all?
