   Ebay has fallen too far down the slope to get the public's trust back.   
   What started off as a great public "garage sale" site went too far   
   into the dark side of profit/greed/commercialism.  The site is so   
   bogged down with spyware and crap that it takes pages forever to load,   
   and I have a cable modem.  What I find ironic, reading the posts   
   following the article, there are sellers posting on there stating the   
   Ebay favors the buyers. LOL  That is hilarious.  I guarantee that   
   those sellers have never bought from Ebay and only sold.  The buyer is   
   the one that has to jump through the hoops to prove that they never   
   received the item that they paid for.  The buyer has to prove that   
   they did send the payment.  All the seller has to do is claim that the   
   payment was never received, lost in the mail or the wind blew it away.   
   I just see this Ebay "promise" as more hot wind to try and get on the   
   public's good side again.  Words are words.  Actions is where the   
   proof comes in.  The only actions that I've seen over the last 2 years   
   is increased fees, more restrictions and less buyer rights.  When I   
   see live people actually responding to customer emails, instead of a   
   form letters, then I might think that they are ATTEMPTING to change   
   something.
