eBay is still much more than an auctioning service. It's a lightweight platform for anyone-- store owner or housewife-- to sell absolutely anything. The structure itself is fine, it's the community that's been poisoned. eBay needs stricter enforcements on its weaknesses: sniping, shipping costs, and PAYPAL. eBay needs to cut Paypal off with a sword and start clean. Call it something else because I will never trust that name. Never in my life has transacting money been more difficult and dangerous. The interface, the communication with the staff, and the rats that use it.
