I think the eBay top honcho should look at its lazy and robotic customer support group. You know, eBay has this CSR who just copy and paste their answers from a ready set of answers. That’s why in clarifying some things with them, eBay users don’t get much from the correspondence. This guy is right, incoherent is the friggin word. I say to eBay, in cutting jobs, look at these lazy lads.

And by the way, they suspended my eBay account for having been connected or related to my cousin’s sister’s brother in law’s nieghbor’s friend’s mother who happen to have a problematic eBay account.

Crazy!
