Welcome To The Dictatorship Of eBay
from the say-nothing-negative dept
eBay has made yet another change that is pissing off users. They've put up new rules for their discussion boards that ban an awful lot concerning what people can say on the boards. No one can put up a private email address on the boards, or ask each other where to buy a particular item. The scarier rules include the fact that no one is allowed to discuss fraud, if they think they're being ripped off by someone. And, if a post is deleted or someone is kicked off of eBay no one is allowed to discuss that post or the person again. It's like a bad dictatorship where they kill off someone and pretend they never ever existed. eBay says they're doing it to protect innocent sellers from getting accused, but it certainly looks like they're just trying to prevent any sort of criticism.

eBay dictatorship
The only way to cure the dictators within eBay is to bring them to the brink of bankruptcy by boycoting them and telling people how nasty they are.
