Ebay cut 10% of workforce...

Now, I know my karmic balance will be off because I feel really glad for this.

But after last week, Ebay can go scratch.

I am glad that eBay is not doing well, but I feel bad for the people who have lost their jobs.

Please don't wish ill on eBay.

My eBay income is what pays my health insurance each month.

And where else would I find someone to buy my ...

9 Nancy Drew books from the 70s?

old REAL SIMPLE magazines?

Mary Tyler Moore Show VHS tapes?

7 3/8!

Never worn.

In its original box.

It's brown with a goldish braid and a little feather.

I believe brown is the new black.

I do feel sorry for the people who lost their jobs, but after last week...after the absolute non-caring attitude of their customer service...

The company itself can go scratch.

I can sympathize with people who've had problems ... eBay HAS changed a lot since the days when it was a friendly garage sale. It's now a WalMart of used treasures. I always wondered what happened to Meg ...
