YEE-HAH! EBAY'S GOOD OL' BOY OFFERS ADVICE

EBAY has it both ways.

No, I don't mean their double-dip of EBAY and PAYPAL.

I mean, they claim to be "just a venue" so they can make money off every illegal, sleazy auction on the site. They can pretend they have no idea an auction is a scam and leave it up to others to try and report it.

Unless the auction involves dirty sluts selling their underwear, which is going to get the Harper Valley PTA upset, EBAY takes a day or two to even look at a reported auction. And quite often, they do NOTHING about it. Oh, an oversight. Report it again. And again. And again.

If they're making money, why make it easy to get an auction removed?

That's why this arrogant, smug redneck is smirking.

What's this piece of shit look like to you?

The guy who stands in front of a school refusing to let niggers in? The guy who defends his wife for not letting fags get married? The guy who charges you $300 for changing the oil at the gas station and tacks on a $200 "service charge?" And if you don't pay it, Uncle Gomer the town sheriff comes by to fine you another $500?

To idiots, he looks COOL. You can bet stupid girls watch him sashay into the bar, and they LOVE his shirt and his gold chain. The lower he wears his baseball cap over his orangutan face, the sexier he is. Yeeeee-hah!

He figures his picture is going to help him sell his sweet-talkin' line of get-rich-quick schemes.

He's got nearly THIRTY conjob auctions on the site, including sleazy offers to be a "life coach" for just a little ol' dollar, and to call him up and have a nice little talkitty-talk with him. Real Craig's List shit.

Wouldn't it be nice if EBAY red-flagged shit like this? Oh, but then they'd have to pay a few employees. Instead, why not let this lazy rebel do as he pleases till he gets caught?

Better yet, when he gets caught, DON'T allow a category for reporting him!

YEE-HAH!

Yep, TWO people called EBAY, and got TWO different employees, and two different answers to the same question: "How do you use "report item" to report this?" The replies were "we don't have a real category, I'll forward your concern" and "Well...you might try "illegal activities that encourage breaking the law." Duh. No, that's not really it. The violation is "personal services" and that's how it's listed on eBay's page of do's and don'ts.

Do you see a link for reporting anything? No. On the auction itself yes, but then you have to come up with the right "category" to send your message to an EBAY expert who knows the rules. And THAT doesn't exist in this case.

There's no link that says "Personal Services Violation."

So you're supposed to spend ten minutes calling up, waiting, and reading off an auction number, and waiting for the stooge to go off and get advice from somebody else, and then come back. And then not do anything. Usually the auction stays up.

Meanwhile eBay and THIS clown split the money that idiots throw his way.

And for a buck, he can hook somebody into calling him up for advice, and then charging an extra $50 an hour every time. Who thinks THIS guy is actually offering any kind of "mentor" service for a mere dollar? It's a come on swindle for more:

People fall for this. They figure this impudent know-it-all, wearing his hat over his eyes and giving a sappy grimace, has it ALL sussed out. He's the REAL DEAL.

Yeah. Some fucking LOSER in the DEEP SOUTH, the armpit of America, has a sweet little side business in conning people by phone? Having 'em buy more and more "services?" Ebay shrugs about lonely dumb people ripe for a huckster to pluck? They do the absolute minimum, and despite their phone-script of "thank you for calling," they don't really want calls and half the time, their "I've reported this for you" means that a week later you see the same auction still running to completion.

By God How The Money Rolls In.
