          I can't believe they even have 1000 workers in total.

          What do ebay workers do, other then count money ?

            Come up with stupid ways to screw people, make the auction inconvenient for buyers/seller, and to design stupid extra windows and crap to slow down the system.

            Oh, and count money.

                I haven't bought or sold anything on the 'bay in months and months. Pretty sure there are quite a few others that can say the same thing.

                    hopefully they start realizing that they better treat their seller's right!! right now they're totally favoring buyers!
