I appreciate the update. I don’t pay much attention to eBay. I thought the Skype deal was wacky. Then the phase change took place from auctions to “buy it now”. I will take a look at the system to update my files. If you find any useful links, please, post them for the loyal three readers of this honking goose’s Web log.

5% of ebay members are being railroaded into beta testing

and they are pulling listings and closing their accounts. A forum related to MY EBAY BETA is over 1,500 postings long, over only a 2 week time frame, and these are all complaints raging against the involuntary reprogramming of their membership into a test that they were not informed of, not asked to be in, and not given the option of opting out. It is dictatorship at best, and definitely a very poor way of treating paying customers!

It’s no wonder everyone is dumping the stock and it’s already almost to it’s lowest this past year..just a dollar less and that’ll be the beginning to a slow death.I think it actually climbed a little today, but so did everything else!LOL!

The Beta test was thrown at membership in an incomplete format, and is unusable, slow, causes discomfort to those who are vision impaired, and has absolutely NO redeeming features whatsoever. The programming team on this one needs to be replaced.

There are numerous other complaints being voiced, in addition, the sellers who own PRO-STORES have been disconnected from their store, by ebay programming ineptitude.

The responses from customer service is canned, and gives false solutions, dead links, and poor references.

Ebay is now technologically crippled. Thousands are dissatisfied, there is fraud and abuse with reproductions of anything of value, and in general, management of the site is progressively going downhill.

The stock is teeter tottering at it’s lowest yearly price, and this poor guy blogging on “only ebay” must have lost his shirt by now!LOL! Just wait…it’s only going to get worse!
