Do Self-promoting posts by designers on eBay boards discourage website creation?

They are boinking idiots.

Marty just doesn't want people to know that he sells cheap, imported Chinese junk. Would be politically uncool on ebay right now.

I didn't get a slap for the posting ID post.
I thought LieWorld took the weekends off.

Several others did. :


Lieworld must have 2 shifts. The Monday-Friday Gang Bangers and the weekend clerks who just pull posts.

Bell they aren't boinking idiots. Well yes they are. 

And your right but I would extend that to many just don't want people
to know they sell cheap, imported Chinese junk.

Either way.. the cats out of the bag and the public knows they can hit a
Dollar General Store, A flea market or just about any other
cheap junk B&M chain and get this junk for less and no shipping charges.

The BUYERS are for the most part feed up with the BS over there too and every time
feeBay makes another stupid move, I feel bad for the sheep still there but rejoice
in knowing it just keeps pushing more and more buyers to us independent
sellers with web sites.

It's getting harder and harder for me to have any sympathy for them.

Ahhh what the heck... Why are people picking on what Marty (or anyone, for that matter) sells? 
If people are willing to buy...

IMO, ebay, since the first board meeting after the IPO has inspired to be nothing less than the wal mart of online shopping. 

Speaking of which... anybody remember when... several years ago (mid-late 90's maybe?), Wal Mart ran commercials all the time about how they bought American whenever they could?  Amazing how things change when the ONLY thing that matters now is the bottom line.
