eBay Denies Outage Days after Widespread Accessibility Issues

More of the same from the eBay spin machine.

Honesty is not a strength that the company seem to possess.  Denial and failing to address issues is the norm.

One would expect more from a $60B company, but when you are held accountable by no one I guess that it is quite easy to go rogue.

If ebay were to admit to ALL the "technical issues" they experience on an hourly basis, Wall Street should permanently relegate ebay stock to a penny stock.

The fact is that ebay's chief strategies in its business model have historically included software piracy, intellectual property theft, lying, concealing, abusive behavior, and widespread theft from sellers that has worsened exponentially under John Donahoe.

For ebay admit to additional problems post Hack would signal to Wall Street they've lost control of their platform which The Ho would do ANYTHING to avoid.

Further The Ho will lie cheat and steal to avoid reimbursing sellers for ebay negligence and incompetence so The Ho just denies and obfuscates to evade telling the truth which marcisstic sociopaths like him are constitutionally incapable of doing.

Ebay plants and employees: Read the saga of Ruth Handler who lied to increase the value of Mattel stock.

Many of you could be held legally responsible for the lies and damage you've caused.

Ebay might pay for your legal counsel in a civil case, but what some of you are doing is CRIMINAL both figuratively and literally.

Who will pay your criminal defense fees in the thousands of dollars when you're charged?

Don't think deliberately issuing false and misleading public statements is a federal crime?

Handler was sentenced to PRISON.

Not ebay. YOU will.

Is there ONE honest ebay employee willing to disclose what he or she knows to Ina?

Perhaps Anonymous will bring some karma to ebafia on August 20.

Ebay employees who participate, aid, or abet stock fraud by failing to report, conceal, minimize, or other wise mislead as to the extent and duration of these outages:

Check out the cost per hour of criminal defense attorneys in the greater San Jose/San Francisco area.

Then do your wallet, conscience. and professional future a favor and contact the Steiners about disclosing the full amount of fraud that's going on on the ebafia campus.

So what will ebay tell Sothebys when outages occur?  

by: iheartjacksparrow

The outage wasn't "intermittent" for me. I tried for four hours to access the site to check on tracking for an item I was waiting for. I think Ina should do a poll to find out where the people who were contacting her about this issue reside to find out if the outage did affect the entirety of the U.S. or a "small portion" like eBay states.

by: Ming the Merciless

My outage wasn't "intermittent," either. It lasted completely for more than 16 hours before even partial site usage was restored.

Had The Ho and his lying little minions disclosed the TRUTH, every listing on ebay would have had under their own policies to be extended for the full duration.

Among many other reasons, ebay lies about anything that would cost them money if they told the truth.

And, yes, whistleblowers should use public wi fi well away from prying eyes and computers to contact the Steiners.

Of course this scenario is predicated on the hypothesis that there is at least ONE honest person still working for ebay.

Which I personally doubt.

And I'm talking to YOU, Griff, and your hilariously entertaining "seller advocacy."

by: Xander

Well the good part about not selling or buying on ebay is- You don't notice when they're site goes offline.

I laughed at the part about ebay not responding to the Steiner's and others inquiries into the site outage.

It seems ebay continues to reach new lows under John Donahoes leadership.

Just think, if buyers and sellers had the power to vote for ebay's upper management, JD would be long gone some time back.

The HO has got to go!

"John Donahoes leadership"

Now there's an oxymoron.

by: Ed Gadfly

eBay says your items will not be visible at all times. You agree to this in the Terms Of Service.

"All times" is vague and could include 5 minutes or 5 days.

eBay gives you exposure and non-exposure just like they promised and you agreed to. EBay tells Wall Street and anyone else they are delivering as promised.

“eBay gives you exposure and non-exposure just like they promised and you agreed to.” In law there is a…

Doctrine of reasonable expectations - Legal principle that, in general, the provisions of a contract are to be interpreted according to what a reasonable person (who is not trained in the law) would interpret them.

This doctrine is particularly applicable in adhesion contracts (such as bank lendings and insurance policies) or where a provision is open to more than one interpretation. It favors the objectively reasonable expectations of the weaker party (borrower or insured) although the language of the provision(s) does not explicitly supports them. Also called reasonable expectations doctrine.
