eBay's Latest Screw-Up

The saddest part of all is the great number of people that are hurting badly because of the recent "changes" as eBay strives to become what they are not - nor will they ever be. Another Amazon. For starters - Amazon has real customer service, but I digress...

eBay - the great "enabler" has become the great disabler. Folks that put all of their eggs in eBay's basket have had the basket stomped on.

Current management has been a P/R nightmare of unbelievable scope. They have finally finished squandering the last remnant of the amazing amount of good will they had in the early years.

And yes, the market is finally waking up to what is happening. They are killing the eBay core site. When, not if - The IT hits the fan, it won't be a pretty sight.

The stockholders will be like the guy sweeping up after the bar closes. No loose change will be found on the floor here though. Just empty rooms in leased buildings where all of the leased servers & office equipment used to be. Upper management will have long since escaped with their golden parachutes & cash from their massive stock options.

Even PayPal - the crown jewel, will be a mere shadow of it's former self, without the massive captive eBay transactions.

Yes, sell.....
