OMG — well, if anyone ever had any doubts about eBay’s desire to group hug with the Chinese manufacturers, doubt no more.
HIGH QUALITY PRODUCTS? Are you kidding me
“The publication quoted eBay’s global head of cross-border trade John Lin stating that more buyers around the world would be able to enjoy “high-quality products with great prices from China in a more convenient and faster way.””
AND THIS QUOTE — does “adapts to the demand signals they get” translate to ripping off intellectual property based on what sells well here in the states?
“….something its CEO Devin Wenig boasted about back in 2014 when he told The Atlantic eBay was helping fuel China’s export business – “It’s really remarkable to see how quickly the manufacturing base adapts to the demand signals they get,” he said at the time.”
I wish the US Government would check this out…….cheaper to send from China to the US than it is for me to mail a package to someone in my same city. And their attention goes to helping that happen even faster (which is obviously a sure sign they want to grow Chinese sales on eBay). Definitely do not have the best interest of the residents of the US (or anywhere else for that matter) (buyers OR sellers IMO) in mind.
