Just when we got used to the "playground" (well not really but let's say we did) the same great minds are bringing us FB emoticons! and all ..

I love the one "Would Not Do Something". Like what? Sell the item for nothing? Wait 30 days for payment? Ignore the bounced check? Ship for nothing? Ship before payment and let the buyer "try it out" first?

The whole idea is ridiculous!!!

They should add two more. One that is holding a picket sign and one that is projectile vomiting.

What a bunch of garbage...

One thing I've learned during my eBay years is that if something has the potential of generating additional revenue... it is worth pursuing... and time should be allocated to those pursuits which will have the highest return. (which is why I'm phasing eBay itself out of my business plan) What I want to know... is how exactly does this help eBay generate more revenue??? What does it do to make sellers items sell better? This is what your eBay fees are going toward. I can't imagine that this was developed for any less than 6 figures in cost when you consider labor for research & development.

Just another example of eBay recognizing that their business is broken... yet not knowing how to fix it... so they just use a shotgun approach and take aim at everything (which eventually ends up breaking even stuff that does work)

Did you put your own name in there to see what would come up? I don't understand why a lightening storm is fast shipping...fast as lightening?

Ditto to eauction!

What about this one:

Did not get what user wanted

Tough Sh**, maybe they should not have bid, or actually read the text (something alot of them cannot seem to do - oooh, look at the pretty picture - why bothering reading).

Great use of your fees.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've seen them to do to date. Good Grief!

Oh my goodness, 'Fetching Results'? They showed that I have 962 feedback when I have well over 5000 and my friend has 862 when he has nearly 9000, what is up with that? I suppose they have to cut the results off somewhere. What possible use could these emoticons have to the buyers?

Is this really being put out by eBay or someone else having fun?

I plugged my name in and the total was out by about 2000

It was the correct number on my second ID but not on my PS ID. It must only do a % or something up to a certain number.
I checked my neutrals and they were really mine but from a long time ago.
