This is a live screen recording of actual events on the ebay website, with altered vocals. The video portion is uncut with watermarks added, and otherwise unretouched.
The vocal audio portion of this video is my opinion, based upon & validated by the facts.

More of the same shenanigans on the ebay site.

Is ebay struggling to keep up IT's item count with special deals on an unlevel playing field, and with FAKE items?

This appears very supicious. Does ebay seem to believe they are above the law? I urge all concerned individuals to complain to the proper authorities should you feel there is anything illegal taking place. You can find links by looking at the left hand menu area of my blog for the U.S. Gov't official web portal site here:

Also be sure to complain to the media and journalists where ever & when ever possible.

Here are screencaps of a couple more representative items:

This video, as you will note was created a couple nights before I posted it. Simply do not have enough time, but I am asking everyone out there to be as vocal as possible each & every time you see this sort of thing. Does this appear as though it well may be some bigtime crime?

I notice the item seen in the video, #180250530911 has been removed. No Longer available.
If that item was legit, why has it been pulled when it should be visible for 90 days after ending?

the other item we see, #150258147831, which would have ended on June 18, 2008 has like wise been pulled. No longer available.
Does that seem odd for a legit item from a huge powerseller?

  • don't really think this is a scam, could be an error on the sellers part. Just think about it, NO ONE would buy that anyway, really there isn't a reason to buy it. That cannot be a scam.

  • @Isreal4realz

    Hello. Thnks for watching & commenting. THat was during a Boycott. The speculation is/was that it was done to inflate listing numbers, thus creating a false appearance that the Boycott/anti ebay -paypal activities had no effect. As we see now, ebay is in real decline & has been.

    There was a much bigger, earlier incident ebay was caught dead in the rights lying and censoring/destroying evidence of their misconduct

  • @cappnonymous Can we start a new boycott? One where we make ebay not so greedy and an overall better company? I'd sign the petition for that.

  • @boogiechillen123

    No matter what you want to call it, YES, please do not use ebay or paypal, and do everything you can to persuade others not to as well. They are getting worse by the day. The webs are full of nightmare stories. Their policies are beyond the pale. People who stay will see increasing levels of abuse as the base of the pyramid crumbles & eb-pp try to squeeze more & from less people.

  • I have noticed these listings too!

  • @JacqklynS

    Hello. Thanks for watching & commenting. If you happen to see them again, can you tip me off to the fact with an item number please?

    Thanks very much. :)))

  • Hello kalaniman1

    Thanks for watching & commenting.

    Do I detect sarcasm? lol.

    This one was reduced to 320x240 before uploading, when that was what youtube was still recommending at the time.. The ones I left at 640x480 and used mp4 H246 codecs on look much more clear than this.

    Which brings the next point... Seems like YT's flv re-rendering doesn't "like" wmv videos. They always look worse.

  • excellent video quality
