Am I the only one who finds it very difficult to take these people who
capitalise words in the middle of sentences seriously?


In a word, No.

I would like to know if any Ebay Book sellers are doing a class action law
suit against Ebay?

Ebay Indeed, will SELF-DESTRUCT it will! It is not only one of the
greediest companies, it is FASCISTIC to the point of behaving UNLAWFULLY,
denying Sellers their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS to accept LAWFULL MONEY
(checks, cash, money order.

As we speak, there are many CLASS ACTION SUITS against eBay. I am,
however, suprised that the MOTHER of all Class-Action suits has not yet
hit the fan!... the one in which there will be BILLIONS IN DAMAGES...Fees
that sellers are forced to pay to ACCEPT MONEY and to enrich Pay-Pal who
is owned by Ebay.

WE THE SELLERS have the right to determine how we get payed.

Does capitalizing letters in the middle of a word bother you as well?

eBay.......

Also no. Because I understand the difference between a marketing
trademark (eBay) and grandiose self-importance ("... it is FASCISTIC
to the point...").

Ebay might have the right to specify what form of payment THEY accept,
in no way do they have the right to tell sellers and buyers that they
cannot conduct THEIR transaction in cash, money orders, checks or
live chickens if they so agree.

There is no constitutional right involved. Under the laws of the United
States only U.S. currency is legal tender. However if eBay were to
specify that only PayPal could be used that would violate anti-trust
law under the Sherman Act. That is not what eBay does. Rather they are
now requiring electronic payments to be available as a customer option.

Now we all know that will mean that PayPal will get 95% of the
transaction payment and clearing business on eBay. But as a matter of
law that is just fine so long as it is not required to be PayPal only.
EBay thus is not maintaining a monopoly by the use of monopoly power.

EBay management may be short sighted and greedy but stupid is perfectly
legal. In fact stupidity is the norm in many localities throughout
America, including large parts of San Jose, California.


That seems sensible. I don't use ebay much, but I have talked
with quite a few dealers who are disgusted with ebay right now,
due to some changes made recently, none of which seem
to benefit anyone but ebay. Basically, if they keep annoying
customers, someone else (and don't think there is no venture
capital out there for so doing, there is plenty) is going to jump
in with a better auction and payment set-up, and ebay will be
passe before they know what hits them, because things happen
fast on the net. It is silly (with regard to the first post on the
thread) to rant about "greed" and "fascism" because it is simply
another case of a management starting to slip-up and possibly
run a once good company into the ground by antagonizing
the people they are supposed to be serving...Right now
they seem to be busy beavers -- when it comes to
eroding their own customer base!

The problem is that new companies trying to fill eBay's shoes have to
advertise,
or have their sellers advertise. This is the biggest problems, not
getting the
amount of listings there to read over five million or something like
that.
Not a lot of people understand just how unknown most new websites
are to the general public -- unless they are heavily promoted. eBay
had a word
of mouth thing going on very strong for its first years because it was
the first
online auction site that caught on. It was a brand new concept that
many
wanted to try.

Also, these new sites have to focus on their merit, their use to the
sellers,
like eBay was in the early day. Too many seem to want something for
themselves
immediately, and are also not thinking about how to make things easy
for the sellers.
I've tried two so far and there were simple things they could have
done to make them
more successful, yet they didn't do these things. As usual these
days, there is
a crises of competence. The average person leading or in middle
management in
corporations is pretty inept, probably from having it so easy for 20
years.
