I haven't signed in to fleabay in 3 or 4 years, ever since they were AH's 
and refused to put me in touch with the seller of a scsi card I needed to 
put a Leitch commercial server back on the air at the KREX/KREY/KREZ/UPN53 
complex in Grand Junction CO. where I was the temporary CE for a few 
months, the lack of which meant we were sitting in black during what was 
actually commercial time already sold.  It wasn't until I threatened to sue 
for the lost income of about 20G's a day for the two stations that server 
served that they were costing us that they finally decided to kick it up to 
the next layer of management, who listened to my story with an open mind 
and finally OK'ed giving me the sellers email addy so I could complete the 
deal.

The problem?  While I was logging in using my home user name & password, I 
was 3000 miles west using a different ISP and that set off all their 
paranoid little red warning lights.  We battled over that, after I had 
'won' the bid, for 3 days, by which time the smoke coming out of my ears 
whenever I called them, could be smelled another 1500 miles west at fleabay 
HQ.

I have not willingly used fleabay since.
