A Dear eBay Letter
Filed Under Miscellaneous | Leave a Comment
I saw this posted on SlashDot in response to eBay’s decision to require PayPal as a payment method on eBay Australia.
Hey eBay,
It was nice hanging with you when we were younger, but since then I can feel we’ve grown our separate ways. I still remember our first dot com bubble burst like it was yesterday.But, sadly it seems that you’re hanging out with a new crowd these days and you’ve changed, I can’t put my finger on it, but you’re somehow different. It seems like you don’t really care about me anymore, and you don’t seem to have coped very well with some of the new people in town.
I’m sorry to say it, after all of this time, but I’m seeing someone new they’re so much quicker and dealing with each individual companies policies still feels easier than dealing with your friend PayPal.
I’m sorry it couldn’t work out between us.Signed,
The Internet
Both funny and sad at the same time.

Time does fly, especially in the online world, so if you’ve been using eBay for a while (or if its been a while since you’ve used eBay), you may benefit from the handy AuctionInsights guide to recognizing eBay veterans.
