  • Amex, eBay, IBM Most Trusted for Privacy in 2008
    You have GOT to be kidding me?! This shows abominable ignorance and uninformed poor research on the part of the author to a completely unacceptable level.

    eBay and Paypal are two of the WORST entities for trust levels and Paypal is notorious for getting hacked.

    I have been swamped with work and family situations but just could not let this pass!!!

    Unbelievable. Makes all other articles written suspect, indeed!

  • Will Concert Ticket Sales Continue to Rise Despite Economic Woes?
    Don't kid yourself. The Disney Franchise has already experienced a drop in attendance with the advent of the economic woes. If they're gonna cut back on their trips to Disneyland and Disney World, who in their right minds think they won't cut back on conusumer conert tickets?

  • eBay's Disruptive Innovations Come Full Circle
    Dan Buchannon,

    It helps to catch up. Read several months past commentaries and responding posts. If that's too much trouble -- doing your own research -- then maybe best not to display the lack thereof.

    Explanations abound and are there for the sourcing!!! And not just Seeking Alpha. There's Auctionbytes, RAndy Smythe, PowerSellersUnite...

    Go for it!!! Knock yourself out!!!

  • Ban on Fast-Food Ads Would Cut Childhood Obesity 18%


    All above points made by comments, excellent and agreed. A few more:

    Go to any food served orientation in this country, not just fast food, and by and large the portions are humongous! Not so in Europe, where overweight is not rampant as in this country. More for your money portions to attract the consumer, and also the "free refills", and, aargh! Obesity.

    Another thought. I completely agree with the comments regarding the lack of exercise. Add to this, children can't just go rambling like they could when I was a kid. We could go hiking, rambling, exploring, walk for blocks to see a pal, the list goes on and on. Kids don't have that freedom anymore, It's not safe. Parents DO resort to entertainment values to keep the kids occupied while they need to get x,y, and z done. Plus, both parents work now, or it's a singe-parent household. Life is harder in SOME ways.

    PHys Ed programs lax? Yep, again! Recently a teacher friend who retired at 70 years of age stated that she would NEVER become a teacher if she were starting out now. She had to mark 1500 boxes for every subject for every student every grading period. They were kindergardners. And teaching is about teaching to take tests, not learning. Teaching is one of the most honorable professions, and it's not what it used to be!

    Television and commercials as sole blame, not that easy.

    Studies miss so much.

  • Amazon and eBay Off to a Good Start This Season

    coyotebait - very apt, by the way.

    The ONLY rivalry is in eBay's mind. I doubt ebay is little more than an obscure blip on Jeff Bezos radar, as founder and CEO of Amazon.

  • Amazon and eBay Off to a Good Start This Season


    I have been working local craft fairs and doing a booming business. Three more this week... Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Coupled with online sales, this venue puts money straight into my pocket!

    With reference to this article, here's a great commentary on what is going on in comparison to the two giants of Amazon and eBay:

  • eBay's Donahoe Has Crow for Thanksgiving
    ebay+++

    You've been duped. The news... that's right... the new as in the network B*I*G G*U*Y*S are reporting that consumers comparison shopping online (e-commerce) state that ebay is much higher in price than Amazon now for the "hot commodities" such as electronics, games, etc, etc, are HIGHER IN PRICE(bold, italics, underlined) now on ebay than they are purchased thru Amazon.

    No matter how much you say it, it just won't make it true! And the spenders won't be on ebay.

    Means you are being duped and paid more.

  • Amazon, eBay: Headed for a Holiday Showdown
    Happy Thanksgiving, Dinah!

    Yes, buyers are spending, but taking great care and choosing the special and unique. There may be a recession coming but for NOW the money is there, but being spent with very choice decisions.

    Junk and dime-a-dozen goodies are definitely OUT!

  • Wednesday Market Outlook: What Is the Fed Hoping to Achieve?
    To buckeyecore:

    Amazon policy CLEARLY STATES that they will hold seller funds for a period of time when they sign on and start selling. If not agreeable to that, a seller shouldn't come on board.

    The Amazon board is FULL of people who sign on without reading Amazon's policy and then come crying to the boards when they have their funds in holding (which is ALWAYS for newbies), or worse, are banned from selling due to some infraction. The seasoned 3P's (third party sellers) have very little patience with these crybabies who so obviously didn't read the rules! Be prepared to get flamed!

    READ THE POLICY BEFORE SIGNING ON! Amazon wants to make sure it's third party sellers are satisfactorily complying with their policy and punctually filling orders.

    Amazon clearly states what it means, and means what it states!
