Ebay Classifieds? How novel!

How about a big DUH! for Ebay. Only NOW they're thinking of using it?
Ebay is becoming the Microsoft of the ecommerce world. Can't come up with something original so the copy it. They're doing a Amazon copy and now a Craig's List copy. Well, actually they're just being more honest about the CL copy by putting their name on a couple of them.

Ebay should have put their name on it from the get go but were too greedy and too afraid to have it cut into their own biz. Well, it didn't have to worry about that, CL came along and kicked it in its big fat
complacent rear. Now Ebay's FINALLY really hurting.

Well, Boo hoo. As a former power seller, to be COMPLETELY HONEST.
GOOD! I hope they hurt. A LOT. Ebay is no longer ebay. It is a ripoff shadow of its former self and deserves to lose its core of small business people.

I guess they realized just relying on corporations ain't enough when these corporations are the ones cutting tens and hundreds of thousands of jobs.

In this economy, the small and agile survive WAY better then the slow and the cumbersome.

Ever hear of the quick and the dead?
Guess what?

Ebay isn't quick.

Does this mean they are

Does this mean they are going to start charging us $9.95 per ad, give no way to purchase the item through the listing, and then email our users telling them not to buy outside of eBay?

eBay Branding its Classifieds

Ebay has such a bad name now that they have lost the core of their small sellers and buyers. I doubt those people including myself would choose ebay over Craigslist. Ebay just isn't all that anymore. They are very ecpensive to sell on and they have lost a lot of their buyers with all the trash they have been gving out lately. I doubt anyone will leave craiglist to list on ebays classifieds. I know I won't. I was so tired of ebays bull I started selling and buying on Craigslist amazon among other places why would I want to go back . . .

You know much of ebay's bull

You know much of ebay's bull comes from copying amazon.

Amazon...
* forces its payment system and you must give it your bank account
* sellers can't leave feedback at all
* star feedback
* controls shipping rates

That's what the irony is.

I wouldn't compare it to you

I wouldn't compare it to you a stick up at gun point, eBay never forced anyone to do anything they didn't agree to do in the first place.

Is it a good thing?

It would seem as if Ebay is not changing their classifieds to the brand name "ebay" for a simple reason. It does look as if the company have gone trough so much negativity, that they now should try and gain "authority" back. I think by doing this, is to try let others remember and realise that ebay is still "vars", "content" and active as an entity in its own field.
