  • eBay Bares Its Ugly New Face [View article]
    eBay is sooooo "busted" over the inflation of listing counts. We don't even know how many bogus auctions there were, because eBay started pulling them down almost as soon as they were noted in chat threads, but overnight the listing count dropped 400,000 -- at a time of day that most auctions would not be expiring of their own accord.

    Donahoe has LIED to the public, to the eBay membership, to stockholders, and likely the SEC will be next.

    THIS is the man they chose to succeed Meg? Meg was bad enough; she built a company of hugely expensive mistakes (Skype), a company that has virtually NO customer service, a place where scammers have free rein because eBay refuses to implement any kind of user verification, she opened eBay to Chinese merchants peddling counterfeit junk with astronomically high shipping charges (shipping charges not being refundable, the buyer is basically screwed when they realize this "rare" artifact is a factory-produced fake). She alienated the only truly effective customer service eBay had (the volunteers who spend countless hours helping other member in the Answer Center) by implementing insulting and ineffective rating boxes and refused to hear reason when it was PROVEN that the boxes would harm users by sorting incorrect answers to the top of searches.

    SHE was bad enough . . . SHE alienated many members due to her lack of caring for the eBay community . . . and now we have THIS? Instead of mending the fences SHE damaged, HE decides to just rip down the fences and chase the "noisy" herd from the pasture altogether?

    Well, guess what . . . the herd is stampeding to where the grass is clearly greener, and so are the profits we get to keep.

    This isn't a boycott. It's a walkout.

    No wonder eBay is full of crooks and scammers . . . birds of a feather, you know.......

    Well, guess what, eBay? IT has left the building.


    BOYCOTT VICTORIOUSLY . . . until they get IT.
