Its been years now since Ebay started up and revolutionized the exchange of goods in one fell swoop. When you really stop and think about what Ebay created, man it's a really fucking awesome concept. There is only one problem with it though...that is when you actually try sell something. Thinking back I don't even remember the first thing I put on Ebay. I was in my early 20's and Ebay was just picking up some steam. What I do remember is a pretty smooth transaction and being pretty happy with the end result. Still today I buy things on Ebay here and there and for the most part I don't have a problem. Sure you can get screwed pretty bad if your not careful buying something on Ebay but selling is a different ball of wax. Especially when your forced to deal with Billy Bob Joe Jerkoff with the ripped Nascar t-shirt beer farting into his couch and bidding on your items. Then you have some ass breath from a third world country creating fake user accounts and bidding on your Xbox 360. In my personal experience on this site lately being a seller on Ebay is just a fucking nightmare. If you believe I am wrong, try to sell a laptop on there one of these days. I wouldn't wish this pain and frustration on my worst enemy. I would rather lay my laptop on the Garden State Parkway in front of a 16 wheeler then deal with the absolutely stupid uninformed cheap fucking people and their asinine questions and actions. Believe me you will wind up punching the side of your oak dresser after getting the laptop sent back to you not because the laptop was DOA or got damaged in shipping, but because the sock sniffer on the other end is too stupid to set up the wireless card that came with it and can't connect it to the internet. Another great return was because the laptop didn't have Firefox installed on it. Yes the person actually didn't know how to install Firefox. I can't even imagine how these drooling pillow biters get through the day with the level intelligence they have. The examples I gave are real and terribly frustrating but the real kick in the dick is when you have your item in an auction for almost 7 full days watching the bids, only to have a criminal douche bag use a fake ebay account and win the auction in the last half hour. You know what happens then right? Ebay immediately has cancel the winning bid, and you get to start all over again. Unless of course you want to offer to sell it to the people who came in second or third place in the auction and most of the time are cheap pieces of shit. So you either sell it for less money than you would've made of start the auction over. I bet more people would just get rid of it. In summery like I said before the problem doesn't lie with the site itself. It's dealing with the people. This is primarily because most people are so fucking stupid it will physically hurt your brain. Especially when it comes to buying and selling anything. So unfortunately this is what makes Ebay suck more than the site itself. I'm sure Ebay tries its best to combat human stupidity on a daily basis, but it is a battle they will never win.
