why eBAY suck

...'cos they recently switched to Paypal only? nah, that was bad enough (didn't bother me though).

It's 'cos the latest ad just... stinks. Never leave the viewer wondering, it's an old rule.

The 1st ad was obvious, and boring, going down a luge in a shopping cart. Meh.

The latest has a bunch of bargain hunters in the wild, tackling live prey like wardrobes, bedside desks, and my favorite, lamps (a nod to Pixar?).

The woman that nabs the lampstand... was disguised??? in a lampshade????

What, in the figurative world of eBay, is that supposed to represent? Everyone knows that eBay takes fraud and spoof very seriously, so why are they letting a buyer that dupes the 'prey' into a successful sale slip into the picture?

You dolts. That sucks.
