Executives at eBay Inc. are touting security as their top priority in 2007 after an internal survey showed that online scammers may be denting the company‘s reputation.

Representatives are also sending nasty e-mails to sellers who charge egregious shipping and handling fees. EBay reduced the average shipping cost in the "cell phones" category by 25 percent since last summer, Cobb said.
