You mean you want them to scour each and every one of the 20 million items posted on eBay each week?" No, I want their sites to actually work reliably. eBay and Paypal have a horrid record for uptime, glitch-free operation. I'm not talking about the listing quality at all--you miss the point. If you had buyers angry because of the infamous echeck clearance glitch, or a buyer who couldn't use their promotion coupon issued by eBay because of another long-standing Paypal glitch, you'd know what I mean. And the 8.75 FVF is turning into 12 percent. Haven't you been keeping up the the recent changes, Jay? I realize that could become a full-time job... “Quality control for the site?

Except every human being that uses the site to sell isn't an upstanding citizen. Many are bad people, crooks even. Remember the old saying "In a perfect world..."? Yes Jay, it is.

Remember the old saying “In a perfect world…”?

You mean you want them to scour each and every one of the 20 million items posted on eBay each week? I can see that 8.75% fvf quickly turning into 20% to cover the costs of that idea alone.
