6、ethods, including money order, cashier's check, cash, personal check and electronic payment services like PayPal and BidPay. It's up to each seller to decide which payment methods he'll accept. Just as you can buy almost anything on eBay, you can sell almost anything, too. Using a simple

9、plete transactions during that period. Buyers, sellers and eBay were very unhappy, and a complete restructuring of eBay's technological architecture Followed. In 1999, eBay was one massive database server and a few separate systems running the search function. In 2005, eBay is about 200 database
10、 servers and 20 search servers. The architecture is a type of grid computing that allows for both error correction and growth. With the exception of the search function, everything about eBay can actually run on approximately 50 servers-Web servers,application servers and data-storage systems. Each
11、server has between 6 and 12 microprocessors. These50 0r so servers run separately, but they talk to each other,so everybody knows if there is a problem somewhere. eBay can simply add servers to the grid as the need arises. While the majority of the site can run on 50 servers,eBay has four times that
12、.The 200 servers are housed in sets of 50 in four locations,all in the United States. When you're using eBay, you may be talking to anyone of those locations at any time-they all store the same data. If one of the systems crashes. there are three others to pick up the slack. When you're on t

14、ies who deliver eBay's static data to cut down on download time, and there are monitoring systems in 45 cities around the world that constantly scan for problems in the network. Using eBay: Security In order to make buyers feel safer when making purchases on eBay, all tangible (有形的) items are au
15、tomatically insured for $200.

16、o $200. Buyer Fraud Buyer fraud is typically less damaging than seller fraud. The most common type of fraud a buyer can commitis simply not paying for an item. Sellers can deal with non-paying bidders by filing an Unpaid Item dispute. eBay will then attempt to contact the buyer and get her to pay. I
17、f she does not respond to eBay's attempts after eight days, the seller is reimbursed(赔偿) for eBay's cut of the final sale price and can relistthe item for free. If the buyer does respond, the dispute can end in one of three ways: The buyer decides to pay, and everybody's happy. The buyer
18、 and the seller decide together to abandon the transaction,the seller gets reimbursed for the final-value fee and relists the item for free,and everybody's happy. The seller decides noe to deal with the buyer, the buyer gets an unpaiditem strike against her, and the seller gets reimbursed for th
19、e final-value fee and relists the item for free. In the end, the damage to the seller is relatively small. Another type of buyer fraud occurs when a buyer sends false payment. In most cases,this is in the form of a bounced check, and the seller finds out about it before shipping the item. Bounced ch
20、ecks are as common on eBay as they are in the rest of the world, and many sellers choose not to accept personal checks for this reason.

21、he item the buyer purchased is dramatically different from how it was described in the listing; or the item simply never arrives. One thing to keep in mind when you think you've been defrauded is that miscommunication is common on eBay.For instance, if you didn't read every word of the aucti
22、on listing for your item, you may have missed the part that said the seller would be out of town for three weeks and wouldn't be able to ship the item untilshe returned. This could be why you don't have your item and the seller isn't answering your e-mails. Also,e-mail is not the most st
23、raightforward form of communication. If your item hasn't arrived after two weeks, and you've e-mailed the seller but haven't heard back, it's a good idea to check your junk mail folder. Your seller may have sent a response e-mail that just never made it to your inbox. If there's
24、nothing fromthe seller in your junk folder, you can request that eBay reveal your seller's phone number so you can give him a call and see what's going on. If you don't get an answer to your phone call (or if your seller lives in another country and it would cost too much money to call),
25、 your next step is to start the dispute process. When a buyer believes he has been defrauded, he can file a complaint, and eBay will work to solve the problem. When you file a complaint in eBay's "Item Not Received or Significantly Not as Described" system,eBay will act as middleman be

31、眼不明显，依据选项关键词bid，price，cost等在原文查找与“出价”有关的细微环节，由此定位至第1个小标题eBay Basics部分的第2段笫3句。 解析：题干中的have the right to refuse the deal是原文该句doesn’t have to part with the item的近义改写，因此答案为B。 3.D定位依据题干中的PayPal和BidPay定位至第1个小标题eBay Basics部分的第3段首句。 解析：原文该句末的electronic payment services like PayPal and BidPay表明PayPal和B
32、idPay属于electronic payment services，因此本题应选D。 4.D定位依据题干中的buy or sell及选项定位至第1个小标题eBay Basics部分的末段。 解析：本题的题干题眼不明显，应从选项入手，因为这些选项都是专出名词，在原文应当比较惹眼。逐一查找选项就可发觉只有D在第1个小标题下末段提及，其他选项均未提及。 5.C定位依据题干中的server和microprocessors定位至第2个小标题eBay Infrastructure部分的第3段第3句。 解析：本题除了可依据题干的题眼定位原文找到答案外，还可查找与选项数字相关的内容，这些数字集中在第2个小标
33、题下第2、3段，这样，查找到C的时候就可发觉这一组数字为正确答案。 6.B定位依据题干中的listing和Web site定位至第2个小标题eBay Infrastructure部分的末段首句。 解析：原文该句提到了多个server，还有多个套叠的定语从句，但是依据题干中的first可以快速选择B，因为这是在原文中首先提到的server。 7.C定位依据题干中的recipe和tangible定位至第3个小标题Using eBay：Security部分的首段第2句。 解析：依据题眼定位后，可知只有C在原文提及，其他选项都属于无中生有。 8.non-paying bidders 定位依据题干中的U
34、npaid Item dispute定位至第3个小标题Using eBay: Security部分的次标题Buyer Fraud下首段第3句。 解析：空白处应为名词(词组)。本题要求查找申请Unpaid Item dispute的用处，原文句中的deal with. by filing an Unpaid Item dispute表明卖方以此应付那些不付款的投标者，因此deal with后的宾语non-paying bidders为本题答案。 9.bounced checks 定位依据题干中的personal checks定位至第3个小标题Using eBay: Security部分的次标题B
35、uyer Fraud下末段末句。 解析：空白处应为名词(词组)。只要在原文找到this reason的所指，就能顺当解决本题。依据该段的主要内容和末句的主语可以推断this reason指的就是bounced checks，这就是本题答案。 10.middleman 定位依据题干中的dispute process定位至全文末段倒数第2句。 解析：空白处应为名词(词组)。题目中的plays the role of与原文中的act as为同义词，加上题目中的between the seller and buyer和原文一样，不难推断本题答案应为原文act as后的middleman。 本文来源：网络收集与整理，如有侵权，请联系作者删除，谢谢！第16页 共16页第 16 页 共 16 页第 16 页 共 16 页第 16 页 共 16 页第 16 页 共 16 页第 16 页 共 16 页第 16 页 共 16 页第 16 页 共 16 页第 16 页 共 16 页第 16 页 共 16 页第 16 页 共 16 页
