Hear Me Now, Ebay!

I have been an avid ebay fan and buyer since April 1999, back when it was more of an internet garage sale as opposed to a flea market of second rate dealers. But still, I peruse it with keen interest. I have a watch list for potential additions to my collections of lady bugs, classic piglet porcelain hinged boxes, and my TST Boutonniere and Cavitt Shaw Strawberry Shortcake china patterns, both of which are from the 1950's and no longer available new, and WAY out of line in antique stores.

It's been fun, but frustrating, to slowly add to my collections, especially the dishes. I inherited the Strawberry dishes from my Great Aunt, and I have almost every piece of the Boutonniere. I love them.

But that's not my point. That's just the background to explain that I love Ebay.

My POINT, is that I think the marketing and advertising people have been smoking some wicked bad shit. I am just about to add Ebay to my boycott list because of their unbearable bad commercials. If I hear that fat bloated nasal whine belt out a corrupted version of "May way" one more time ("When you do it EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-Bay!") I will be forced to end my affair with them. It's an unfortunate thing, and an action I have only seriously taken one other time. I don't care if they give away clothes for free, I will NOT give Old Navy 1 second of my time because of the commercials they dare to air.

Ebay: Clean it up, man. Can the bad song, fire your advertising agency and hire me. I'm sure I'm cheaper, hell I'm a downright discounted whore! But get my message, man, I need more stuff from your site, so STOP TORTURING ME WITH THOSE FREAKING AWFUL COMMERCIALS!

Won't you PLEASE leave your feedback here?
