Damn. And there I was shopping at eBay because I imagined it was a little better than Amazon. What is wrong with these people? How can a person end up doing that just for the sake of the company they work for? Is it just about money? I guess with the CEO's involvement it's probably the usual combination of greed, arrogance and lust for power. But despite instigating the "takedown", it seems the former CEO isn't among those being punished.
Holy shit! Does eBay think they're the Mafia now? I can't help but think of the horse head in The Godfather.
