Do Blogs Count

[gramma1111]

I recently read an interesting article in the PC Authority Newsletter, entitled, "eBay: Friend or Foe - Part 1". After which greedbay must have hired some bloggers and I just couldn't stand it any longer, I threw in my two cents worth.........

"I have to beg to disagree with those of you, like Jim Dude and Slatts, who say that "eBay is not evil, people are evil",or that "eBay doesn't rip off people,people rip off people". Puhlease! I operated a small store on (pardon me) Greedbay, I finally shut it down, because the "upper echelon" got so greedy that their fees were blowing off the roof. Sure, there are evil people, and when I encountered a couple in particular, did Greedbay step in to help? Why of course not, why should they, all they have to do is sit back in their easy chairs and rake in the dough. I have opened another small store, not on GreedBay, but on eBid.net, where the upper echelon actually still interacts with their sellers and buyers. If I have a problem, the top dog comes to find out why! Now that is the kind of place that GreedBay should strive to be."

I was shocked because they left it in, and can still be view at:

There are some very interesting comments on some of the links on the PCA page, including a quote:

" In a recent article in Fast Company magazine, eBay CEO Meg Whitman claimed that the site's biggest problem was that it was too big, with too much on sale and that it was too difficult to find what you wanted – a victim of its own brilliance."

Ah, so that's the problem!

Ah. I see. If there's too much on sale, that's why they swept out the "noise" (small sellers). And if they'd winnow down the duplicate items offered by corporate sellers, maybe that would make it less crowded too. GREAT POST, GRAMMA. I hope it stays visible a long time.

Let's all promote ebid. Where the best is all the sellers and buyers united.
