Caveat Fimus?

The Missouri Attorney General is suing a suburban St. Louis man who allegedly violated the cardinal rule of business: don't sh*t on your customers.
When customers placed their orders through the online auction site eBay, the suit says, Pickens arranged for the shipment to come from companies that sell industrial rags, unwanted clothing or household items meant for poor countries. In one case, a customer received feces.
As a frequent eBayer myself, I wonder why the online auction giant's vaunted feedback system didn't do this guy in, eliminating the need for an elected official to demonstrate his prowess before the voting public. Aw hell, I just answered my own question.
