  • What Will Become of eBay? [View article]
    My, my, ..The country is poised on financial collapse created by the shortsighted greed driven business practices of the past 20 years. The writer of this article has the audacity to keep talkin' sh*t.

    In light of the economic climate, one would think that Ebay would be having upwardly spiraling record breaking numbers.

    WHY NOT?

    How much bail out money do you suppose the American people are willing or even able to absorb? The writing has been all the wall for a very long time. Why didn't the experts notice?

    Yo, Ebay, the offshore call center for paypal, need extensive overhauling they have no idea what a caller is talking about . And even though I resent having to pay to call an American based company in order to be understood, it's a small payoff for giving me better documentation.

    Had to return. Just found this in the Ebay message boards.

    The seller fears are very real.

    One last thought :

    If Ebay is poised toward greatness, why has Meg sold close to $40.000,000 of her shares?

    She was still onboard when the policy changes were developed and put into play.

    Ebay still has no viablle customer service for the majority of its users. The email customer service offered is an automated system.

    I'll know that Ebay cares when every member is afforded the same level of service.

    Is my money not as green?

    Customer service is a tool that helps to build a customer base. It is up to a company to prove their worthiness to me; not the other way around.

    The last time that I experianced such mediocre business practices was a few months before MCI went belly up. There are reasons and underlying causes behind such levels of mediocraty. I say let it play out. Ebay will either get it right or eventually crap out just like MCI and Enron before them.

    Policies need to be fair for all users or dischord will continue. Why if Ebay is doing so well, does the stock hover in the 20's?

    If Ebay is doing so well by its members, why do the comments left after any article that allows them tend to be of negative oppinion?

    Why haven't any of these reporting bodies become curious enough to do further investigation?

    Has our society become that jaded?

    The above antics had been mentioned in various sources very soon after the policy change announcements. Why was nothing done?

    The seller's fears are very justified. This is the second incident of feedback abuse I have found in less than a week.

    I have time to audit the site; why don't the executives? Isn't this part of what they are being paid to do?

    Had Ebay taken the high road everyone would have pitched in and tried 10 times harder.

    They chose either through ignorance or with malicious intent to do otherwise. Neither of which illustrates to me any TRUE LEADERSHIP qualifications.

    Enron believed in the disruptive theories. Worked really well didn't it.

    There is still too much negative press. Where there is smoke is the fire ever far behind?

    I don't know about the knick knacks holding on. I collect depression glass. I have noticed a 10 to 20% decline in listings in this area and the items that are listed have a much higher rate of NOT being real depression glass.
