What a pity. Ebay has become a lousy deal for everyone involved--buyers, sellers, and investors. A triple play of incompetence.

But hey, I'll make their board of directors a great offer. Whatever they're paying John Donahoe, I'll keep running Ebay into the ground for half that amount. I couldn't do any worse.

And I dare say it's psychologically flawed; the people most likely to send self-destructive email are also the least likely to turn on this filter in the first place.

However, if they could put a feature like this on Joe Biden's mouth, they might be on to something.]]>

eBay Bares Its Ugly New Face http://seekingalpha.com/article/66733-ebay-bares-its-ugly-new-face?source=feed#comment-121566 121566
Attracting two-bit hustlers instead of retaining solid, long-time buyers and sellers like myself (over ten years and 1,000 transactions with no negatives) is not going to pay off for them in the long run.

Does anybody remember the "good old days" of eBay, when you could actually get to know a buyer or seller? Seems like a relic from the Eisenhower administration.

These days, when I'm looking to buy or sell something online, I do it through a special-interest forum. Faster, easier, friendler...and free. ]]>
