I don't think people are so much complaining about the wrongs ( or "rights") of eBay, but it's obvious that for many people it used to be a major income stream which has becone fouled by a not so peculiar brand of corporate thinking.
For folks with their own website, or profile established within the poster collecting community eBay used to be a way of advertising themselves. Clearly, ebay realised this and hence their approach to trying to take a slice of the pie from everywhere and every opportunity. Ari is correct in saying that if you don't like it, don't use it. As for Andy Neal's comment, it's what the OE function of sending any particular email sender straight to the junk folder was made for. I actually don't understand your problem, Andy.

I don't go to Macdonalds because their food tasks like $%^&, I don't drink pepsi, its gross, I don't use ebay, dont like it anymore. The gun at your head is in your imagination. Just use MPB or whatever. complaining about a site that owes you NO rights - they have the right to do as they please if legal - seems weird. DONT GO THERE. kinda easy.

Dale.. you are right and wrong at the same time #1.. that should have been the philosophy all along #2.. every Stu Holstein or Mrs Miniver out there would clutter it up with $1,000,000 priced listings worth $125 each and that would clutter it up just as badly I really wish I could filter out sellers. but to fleaBay, here's the neg: yes, you would only see the real actual auctions (meaning, material with no reserves, start at low prices compared to value and are not just retail listings). however, you would see that there are just 5000 or so "real" auctions in the almost 1,000,000 listed in Entertainment Memorabilia (that is .05% of listings!). And I'm being generous at 5000.. believe me Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
