Does anyone care?
Doubtful. Smile

It was probably started by a WP cheerleader.  There's another thread bashing onlineauction.com on the eBay Stores board .   :Smile

EDIT:
Did eBay buy out auction site HiBidder?
According to deepriverman, Warren Buffet is going to invest $5 billion for a 49% stake in Wagglepop (because searchers will desert google and froogle for WP according to DRM) so I guess anything is possible.  Happy001 Happy001 Happy001

Did a few searches, all returned the same thing---no info available. There would be articles in the business/market mags if it had occurred. When are they saying it happened?Icon_scratch
LMAO, BBH. I still wonder if DRM isn't one of Ray's inner "children," feeding the need to express himself anonymously on the boards.

Belli--eBay didn't buy HiBidder, it seems. There WOULD be something about it somewhere.

Apparently all the drama is supposedly about the HiBidder site getting hacked, and the contact info page getting replaced with eBay's contact info. For whatever reason. The funny thing is the people who swear they saw a ghost (the so-called replaced page) vs. the people who swear that ghosts don't exist. LOL.
