Ebay Not Worthy
by randall7 May 26, 2006 9:19 PM PDT: Ebay's greed is going to destroy them or it should destroy them.They will sell anything legal or illegal as long as it fills their pockets. Symantec,McAfee, or any other company should be able to sue Ebay when Ebay knowingly lets people sell this garb. Ebay does not police their site and their feedback is a joke.Does any humans work at Ebay?; Like this Reply to this comment
