AuctionBytes.TV has released an interview with BuySafe CEO Jeff Grass on its Internet television network. Grass discusses the problem of online auction fraud and how BuySafe works to protect eBay buyers. Grass said lawmakers are looking at ways to protect the public from online fraud, but said it would be better for the private sector to solve the problem.

Grass talked about a recent case in which the number-one feedback seller on eBay had to shut down its business suddenly, leaving some buyers without product. He reviewed the steps BuySafe took to make whole the customers of Glacier Bay DVD, which was a BuySafe bonded seller.

Grass also discussed Google's recent move into ecommerce with its Google Base and Google Payment services. The video interview can be seen on the AuctionBytes.TV Features channel.
