I just don't understand for the life of me why no one has been able to
challenge ebay by establishing a new on line auction. Every successful
business in
the world has been challenged. Examples are:
Ford
Coca Cola
General Electric
K-Mart
The list goes on and on. It truly amazes me that ebay is still the one and
only on line auction that just continues to monopolize on line auction world.
For this reason, they are big enough to continue to go up on rates, tell YOU
the SELLER how you will get paid, and YOU the BUYER how you will pay.
Most businesses in our country that continue to forget the patrons that made
them who they are in the first place at some point in time begin to lose
steam. I am still waiting for the time that a new company comes up and over
takes
ebay.
As a 12+ year member of the ebay community as a seller and buyer (100%
feedback), I have decided to boycott the auction company. I am doing my part
to
stop supporting a company that tells me how I will do business. I feel that if
enough people do this, ebay will get the message.
It's one thing to cry and 'belly ache' about how you are treated in the
business world, but another thing to say, "I am not only going to complain, but
I
AM GOING TO STOP SUPPORTING THE BUSINESS."
When we all do that, the business will get the message.
It's like our local gas stations here in town. When they saw an opportunity
to put the screws on us by selling us gas that they bought last week at a
$1.00 more a gallon (from $3.57 Friday to $4.57 today Saturday) due to the
hurricane threat, I made the decision to stay home all weekend. It appears
that many
of my community neighbors have also done the same as word is these stations
have done very little business.
Instead of running on gas this weekend, I am running on the energy of my 100+
year old Victor springs and enjoying every minute. Billy Murray and Ada
Jones have never sounded better, and to think...the entertainment and energy to
produce it is free!!
It's all about the mighty dollar my friends! You take care and keep the
speed limit at 78...rpms that is!
And yes, thank you Billy and Ada for continuing to entertain us, and for
putting smiles on our faces!
