What's the Number of reasons Why eBay Stinks for Sellers?

Bunn is ex-navy.

I know that "listing" means the good ship Ebay is not sailing with a straight deck.

I suspect that "turtle or sunkis" are nautical terms also ... possibly similar to titsup.

Indeed, the goo ship ebat is not at all shipshape, what with the 25 degree list to the bow ....for a ship to turn turtle is for it to be upside down but floating. ..sunkis=sunk is or "our bidness decisions sunkis" which is NOT a good thing-next stop, the bottom and depending on the sinkis speed, a depth into the layers of whaleshit it will travel. ...

That explains it...

I thought sunkis was "skunk" or some variation. Yep, I know nothing about the Navy... grew up in a landlocked state... flat enough that the apartment comlexes charged more for a lake view... when the lake was mostly rectangular... dug out a few years before. Kinda sad, when I think about it.

Have not seen that in a while. Interesting to see the july 08 date on it & look at what's still happening...

Off to make more pretties!

I remember that piece-it had a flashbulb like visitation on the boards-then, there were those who couldn't believe, those who wouldn't believe and those that scoriated those that did believe...Every year since July '08, it is amazing how closely it follows the "progress" of ebat...What a "vision", JD!!
I also remember that when I read it in '08, I thought it might have been a retrospective, but how could it be??

First boardie I heard talking about ebay turning into a giant catalog outfit was Permacrisis, who I found on Bonanzle today, along with Citigirl Hardware. I looked at their forums and sighed deeply, thinking about learning yet another scheme of things...

Majik,

Yeah that letter has been floating around out there for a long time new, resurfacing every so often.

It is interesting to note that while there have been many additional changes since June 2008, most of the specific points in the letter have not come to pass.

And while in general the writer of the letter was correct that eBay is using unethical tactics to drive away small-medium sized sellers. But it didn't take a fortune teller to figure that out in the Spring of 2008.
