eBay rebels accuse eBay/PayPal over EBS fund 'œcover up'

Opinion and Analysis

A reponse to the claim that eBay and PayPal could be engaging in a cover up is also listed at the eBay forum, in italics:

It comes from an eBay member called “shortjack” and is as follows, in italics:

“So clearly all these buyers were ripped off before they pressed the 'bid' button. Ebay failed to ensure that it's pre sale sellers adhere to the buyer protection policy etc, and in turn, the buyers cop it sweet.

“So, in this example, it really wouldn't have mattered how the buyers paid or whether they used Paypal on the premise of Ebay's widespread propaganda.

“When is a duck not a duck? when it's a turkey.

“This is just a another Ebay generated farce, and I can see the logic in setting up a voluntary compo fund, because if this went to court, guess who would be left holding the bag of causality and negligence?

“Whilst compo is offered, the damage suits are quelled and the matter can't get into a court. Simple damage control, just like the holiday scam.

“So typical.”

The eBay saga shows no sign of eNding... anytime soon.
