It looks like eBay could also stand for electronic black market -- because the couple who confessed to being professional shoplifters on "Dr. Phil" just happen to have sold a TON of stuff on the website. 
An eBay account connected to the address of Matthew Eaton -- whose house was raided after he and his wife appeared on "Dr. Phil" -- shows an unbelievable 628 positive feedbacks (and only 1 negative) on items sold in the last year.
During Matt's filmed shoplifting trip on "Phil," he guessed he had stolen around $700 of "mostly Lego stuff" -- and there just happens to be, coincidentally, a ton of Lego stuff sold on this eBay account... over $5,000 worth in March alone.

Why is 628 unbelievable? If they're getting the stuff to their customers, there's no reason to leave negative feedback. I hate ebay newbies.

How dumb can you be going on a tv show and confessing to shoplifting. Don't you think the police watch TV too?

The eBay account in question does not show a negative as is being claimed. It's actually a "neutral" rating -- not the same thing.

Many people steal items and sell them on ebay as their full time job. A lot of make up and perfume there is stolen products.
I know a guy that was averaging 10 to 12 thousand dollars a month selling on ebay and of course like most sellers there never claimed it on his taxes. These sellers were making good money all tax free as the rest of us pay our taxes or go to jail.
P!sses me off!!

I emailed this jerk from my eBay account.
I also said "Good Job" to the cops reading my email.
These people are dumber than a bag of rocks.

At least they are not scamming ebayers. And TMZ, they have one neutral feedback, which is not the same thing as a negative feedback. Please ask someone who is actually active on Ebay before posting erroneous information.

I saw the episode.
Why did they go on the show? Dr Phil asked them the same question-.
and their answer? - That they (especially the man/mastermind) were sick of the stealing lifestyle, but addicted to the easy money, and the only way they felt they could stop was to get caught by putting themselves on blast..
