It’s called “spin” and it comes straight from the various Departments of Spin, large and small; every corporation has one, working overtime these days, eBay’s in particular. It does not seem to matter that their statements are usually so self-serving and very often nonsensical; all that matters is that they keep regurgitating the same nonsense and then the majority of people will, apparently, assume that what they say is so. It pays to be a cynic and accept absolutely nothing put out by the likes of “for profit” corporations without first critically appraising same. Indeed, in eBay’s case, you simply take the reverse what they say to get the most probable truth of what they have said.
