Skype and Telecom Carrier Denial

Jim Cicconi, AT&T's top public policy executive, says:

"Skype is a competitor, just like Verizon (VZ) or Sprint (S) or T-Mobile," he says, adding, Skype "has no obligation to market AT&T services. Why should the reverse be true?"

What a whining company eBay and components are. The old adage comes to mind: Do as (what) I say, not as I DO.

Unbelievable. Makes all other articles written suspect, indeed!

Amazon vs. EBay: Looking Beyond E-Commerce

A few months ago I told my family and friends I would no longer sell on ebay (Powerseller, 100 % FB) but would only be a buyer. But there is no longer anything I want... there's nothing special.

Following was the witness of how truly awful ebay was to their sellers and I closed out my ebay account altogether.

I won't do business with a company that is so lacking in character and integrity.

Amazon vs. EBay: Looking Beyond E-Commerce

To Boaz Berkowitz:

Agree with your comments 100%. Many of these same small sellers have gone elsewhere and discovered there are other venues of opportunity. Many, also, of the very same sellers that were with ebay at the start and were responsible for growing the company have already left.

As stated elsewhere, ebay under Donahoe, and inspired by Meg Whitman before him, has opened a door they can never close. Paypal is tarnished and without the dwindling ebay to keep that glory ship afloat will likely also sink. Both companies have eliments of corruption that have now been exposed to light... by their own means.

Amazon is too good at what it does. And ebay never has been.

The rich tapestry that was once ebay is now dull and uninspiring.

While the blog link was interesting, the youtube link loses complete credibility playing pothead background music. The content is excellent but will be INSTANTLY discounted and dismissed by all visitors by the other.

PayPal Offers Cash Back to Shift Users From Credit Cards

When transfering money from bank account to Paypal, and from Paypal to bank account, it always.... ALWAYS, took 10 business days. Everytime. And it is so with every single person I know who has ever transfered with Paypal. Unfailingly.

Paypal makes $10,000,000 a QUARTER on floating money. It's hidden in the stock reports.

10 days. No bank or credit card company would ever get away with that.
