eBay Gets Greedy

eBay has now joined the list of the company with the most corporate greed.  Raising your prices 50% really hurts the small merchant.  If Wal-Mart had done this, the media would be in an uproar.  I hope this comes to someone's attention in the Media World that eBay only wants to make their billionaires have more money than Gates.  How greedy can one company get?  If gas prices went up 50%?  If bread went up 50%.  If all of our telephone bills went up 50%? 

I sincerely hope that you will look at this price increase and rethink the effect it will have on small merchants everywhere.

I will list the trials and tribulations of my life on this page.  This is what I find to be troublesome.  Stupid Things.  Stupid People.  My Blogs.  Waste of time items. 

Bank of America.  My current problems with their stupidity.  I also have a big problem with this bank and really most organizations that just have to be politically correct.  My big complaint is the press 1 to speak or write, or converse or continue in ENGLISH.  I really wish a great mathematics statistic expert would figure out how much money we waste being forced to press this button.  I bet we could pay off the national debt.  Compass bank has really solved the problem with a simple answer.  They use technology to ask the customer if they want English to be the primary language of future transactions.  We no longer have to press 1.  How simple.  What a great bank.

I mentioned this to the bank officer at Bank of America and I receive the politically correct answer of we don't discriminate against minorities.  We are not talking discrimination here we are talking about intelligence use of time and the unintelligent ways some corporations force us to waste it.  We have voice jail, forced button pushing on atm's, redundant entry of information via phone or online.  Don't you just hate it when you spend 5 minutes entering your social security number, your account number, your mothers maiden name and all other kinds of information and then a pleasant voice on the other end now asks you to repeat this information for security purposes?  Uuuuuuuuuuggggggghhhh.  What ever happened to sanity purposes?
