EBAY....Don't You Just Love Them!



EBAY.......What an overinflated company it has become...After being a member for over ten years, I find it's attitude towards sellers incomprehensible......First we all had to put up with the childish "feedback" system...I fucking mean....Can you see Sears or M&S putting stickers on their window when a customer remarks about the service they get.....LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD.....Now, as a seller, you are not allowed to leave any negative feedback against a buyer who has fucked you over.....But Hey......It's alright for the buyer to leave you negative feedback without any just cause......UNBELIEVABLE......Then we get to what one is allowed to sell or more correctly not allowed to sell......I remember when the buggers were first starting off and were desperate to have anything listed on their site.....Cans of fresh air, Pacific water, turds, in fact anything that sprung to mind that the punters may buy......Now it's all politically correct....but let's still put the listing prices up and treble the "shop" owning price.....we are big and know it all......SO SOD THE LITTLE MAN.......Then they had the gaul to go on a spending spree and tried to buy up the opposition......Paypal is a case in hand.....Now....Let's get this straight.....There is nothing wrong with Paypal.....In fact.....It's a damned good means of payment on the internet but so were a few other on-line payment companies.....but alas they have fallen by the wayside because of the heavy-handed onslaught of Ebay...Forcing sellers just to offer Paypal as the sole means of payment......Then the buggers decided it would be a good idea to get their name even more recognised by holding seminars around various countries teaching people how to list and sell on the site.....BLOODY HELL....If you can't work out how to list or open an on-line shop.....Then you, DEADHEAD....Shouldn't be doing it in the first place......Getting back to the childish "feedback" system.....Why is it when sellers say have over 25000 feedbacks they seem to become immune from being struck off????.....There are a few nameless sods with well over 100000 feedbacks that have on average 300 - 500 negatives ones per month and not a bloody thing happens to them!!!!!.....Could the answer be that Ebay doesn't want to loose their business!!!!!


In the end though they have the on-line auction market sawn up.....There are a few other sites out there but it's Ebay the punters go to first....But they came unstuck when they bought “Skype”……..They paid an inflated price of $250 million and are now trying to off-load it for $140million…Good business eh???.......So I suppose that I will just have to grin and bear it, and keep racking the money in.
