|
|
I like this item:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330011570911&category=1467
And I like the what the seller has to say in the ad. S/he said that ebay has branded or copyrighted the phrase "fee hike" and that is why they are pulling all the fee hike protest ads. Does anyone know if that is true or just rumor?
It also gives me a great idea for a protest ad.... I have some "hiking boots" I'm going to list. "Take a HIKE with these boots, Low shipping fees!" Whatchathink? Will it get pulled? |

Yeah, I liked it a lot too, Erin. Very cleverly written. I want to buy it just to support the clever seller. I like the idea of using picture based text so it can't be scanned by the ebay bots. Very smart. I found it by searching froogle for "feebay."
So what do you guys think about the "fee hike" rights? |
