Post by: tellomon on November 05, 2009, 06:52:26 PM
Here's one example. This guy, Mr. Mott, advertises on my website!
Look around for a "Contact Seller" clickie-thingie.....

Frank's got this neat ride.

 I wanna "Contact Seller" about it, but from the eBay page...I CANNOT!

I hafta personal email him about it.....cuz I'm a long-time buyer and we have email history!!!!

How kind is that to casual eBay/Frank Mott shoppers?


eCrappe!

"Contact Seller" clickie was a STANDARD not long ago. Now it's a fossil. F*@& eBay!!!

I remember, not more than 2 years ago on eBay...before the hidden bidder ID BS...the site was SOOOO transparent, all us Drummers could see who was circumsized or not.

Now, ebay is so flippin' boxed up, nobody can know anything except their PayPal account number.

Totally SAVAGE! And I don't like it!!!!!!
