eBay is Dead; Long Live Fair Online Trading
Its Official; eBay has finally done a Kurt Cobain (not been killed by Courtney Love, metaphorically or otherwise) and put a big black Cock of Death in their mouths and blown their digital brains all over the wall. Not content with taking an already extortionate 5.25% plus listing fees, eBay have rolled out their new "lower" insertion fees to distract from their increases in selling fees, making eBay more expensive overall.
Not content with destroying the whole premise of Open Buyer & Seller Feedback, thus rocking the very foundations of eBay, they are now increasing fees to assumably make up for the masses of disgruntled eBayers moving to pastures new. At first they might seem "cheaper" for some scenarios, but just give them a few months and they'll roll back the insertion fee prices and thus filter in a few percent increase in charges.
P.S. Your adverts on TV are wank too....
A competitor has had a good 10 years to take the eBay formula and make it better, safer and cheaper. Now is a perfect time to start attracting people and heres an idea that the internet can have for free. Come up with a method that lets people import their eBay feedback into your new website through a 1p buy it now auction. eBay are scrapping it so they surely won't care (sic), and it will instantly give your users of the new "eBay Killer" credibility and prowess, things that eBay seem to want to take a great big shit on. This solves the "I don't like new" problem as you're instantly giving people a history, giving you a Super Online Reputation - chuck Amazon ratings in there and other repuatation based websites and boom, you're on to an instant winner.
If I had a spare 10k or so I'd pay an Army of Indian .NET experts to put this plan into motion but I'm poor and whilst I could do it myself, like I have the fucking time...
Mark my words though, the first trading website that allows you to import your eBay feedback through verification will make a fortune, and perhaps even have a good hit at topping eBay... and how awesome would that be!

They are...
...definitely thieving bastards. I sold A box set the other day for £21. I came out with about 15 after fees etc.
Im currently selling 40 copies of midnight club on psp . I wanted 300 for them but ive had to up the price to 400 just to cover the fees
Wasn't Google working on an
Wasn't Google working on an eBay killer? Do what everyone else does - increase the postage & packaging fees.
I too have an idea...
Why not raise the £10k and set up a system which links up all the advert "cards" you find in the newsagents / corner shops. We'd make a killing. Somehow.
Talk about a gap in the market.
Johnny Donahoe takes it where he poops...
I have pictures ;) I really do... and he does.. believe me he does.
I'd like to congratulate that poor BILLIONAIRE Meg Witlessman for getting busted today. They found out that she was employing an illegal alien housekeeper for years. Did she do it to save money? I think anyone with a brain may be able to figure out that she did it as a matter of "principle" (lack of). One less job for an American tax payer and one step closer to communist China for the western world. WHEW WHOO!
Funny how BILLIONAIRES are always the ones who get elected to public office. It's even funnier how the BRAIN DEAD PUBLIC keeps voting for them. I guess those pretty cardboard signs work better than I thought.
May ANYONE who votes for her receive a GIANT FUCKING BLACK COCK OF DEATH in their asses, mouths and all other orifices to the point where they rupture and cause internal bleeding... and finally -- death. Slow, painful death.
Have a nice day. Good luck and happy bidding! ;)
