There was a part of 60 Minutes II devoted to eBay the other night,
Ray, and as I recall it did sound as if they are pro-seller and be
damned with consumer protection. The sellers make their money for
them, the buyers don't, so why would they care what the sellers are
up to or if what they are offering is genuine or legitimate?
(rhetorical?) It's another case of the fox guarding the hen house.
