No thanks! eBay spams people enough already with its own spammy emails, there’s no need to sign up for more spam.
Nice to see eBay is learning about what is needed, after 27 years in e-commerce. One would think that they could go back to what has worked in the past and duplicate that, but it seems that they laid off all their U.S.-based IT folks and support people, so no one now working there has any clue about what it takes to grow the venue, attract buyers, or provide users with sensible ways to track or watch items they are interested in.
I long for the days before 2008, when Donahoe started eBay on the slide that they’ve never recovered from, and probably never will. Yet they copy things from other e-commerce sites, usually without a clue as to what else is needed to make those functions work.
I don’t even have a red heart next to my name in my store.
