"Hopefully some day someone will clue johnny in that amazon's success is in great part due to CUSTOMER SERVICE."

Donahue and brain trust, et al, can't spell the words let alone address the absence of the concept at eBay. They operate in a theoretical world reinforced by fantasies of grandeur. Their management style is reminiscent of the ruling class at the time of the fall of the Roman Empire.

Oh yes....I shop on Amazon because I feel relatively safe in doing so. On ebay, its a crap shoot unless you gather some reputable sellers you can trust.

Maybe if they had stopped the scams and fraud people would not have left. It is unfortunate they did not care about their users because they would not have started dying a slow death years ago if they had.

Hopefully some day someone will clue johnny in that amazon's success is in great part due to CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I am on to other things.
