Lmao!! Oh yes, the ever popular classic line of crap. I can't help but laugh my ass off everytime I see it. All those eyeballs yet they still complain about no sales : Smile

I mean if I can do it (get people to my site) then why the hell can't they. It's not brain surgery for petes sake, a little common sense can get you a long way Wink

Quote:eBay was lucky for many years, but now the problems it ignored 5 years ago (or 6,7,8,9 yrs. ago) have caused an explosion...an explosion which could have been prevented if eBay had focused on the long term rather than the next quarter.

So VERY true.

The first bit of common sense would be realizing that if they can drive people from Google to their eBay Store they could also drive those same people to their website and save $$$.

"OFF TOPIC-for Anita's benefit: I stand corrected, the Amazon Faery now has a feedback rating of 1 not 0 and 23 items in her store."

Fairies (sp?) must be prettttty special because she says she is a Silver Pro Merchant on Amazon. That is one way to stand out from the crowd... being the only one.

For those of you that are just toooo darn slow to figure things out...

Mecca is Marty's other personality.

Quote:But this isn't an ordinary company...it's a 90's dotcom and so it is being run exactly according to plan, just as it always has been: greed rules, and management's only focus is on the next earnings report and their stock option packages. Fixing underlying problems (like glitches) that may snowball and cause an explosion five years down the road has never been a concern for eBay (and in fact was viewed as undesirable because it would have temporarily slowed growth).

Interesting. I guess they survived because of a concept so good it was harder to wreck Violent1

.

Out of curiousity are there any other survivors. I guess Amazon?? Kim
