Agreed on all points. eBay becoming a portal for discounted goods was a direct result of the desire of Meg to compete with amazon. It was remarkably stupid. If eBay would've listened to many of its employees re: shipping fees, fraud, and something called the ePD; eBay would have owned the used good marketplace. Instead they largely ignored fraud, and graft; let the core auction platform languish (with the most bizarre rationalization that I ever heard); and in end simply pissed away community goodwill and internal resources competing with ghosts. eBay will slowly rot because of this stupidity. Good riddance indeed.
