no they are not. do you work for ebay or something.they are legitimate site with legitmate views from many disgruntled ebay user,why are you trying to suppress the truth when it effects the very website your obviously so keen on? dont you think people should know about every thing that is going on? you all seem to think you can some how change ebay and yet you remain a part of it.the problem s reflect on all users ,good or bad. dont go telling tales to the moderator.speak for your self.if you had bothered to actually read any of the threads on these links you would and should be horrified about the scale of fraud and the lack of interest from ebay. i hear one thing over and over........EBAY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU ,ME OR ANYONE ELSE.

I am not an ebay employee, but I do make a VERY healthy second income from it, mainly because I play by the rules, keep my nose clean, offer a good service to customers and have carefully planned out my marketing and selling strategies.

I think people should have a constructive, balanced and objective view of the facts and perils, without sensationalist opinion. A site that only offers one type of opinion, often clouded by emotion is not going to be able to achieve that.

A well-rounded website will have a mixture of debate and opinion, but should all be based on FACT, be well moderated and not full of spam and porn links. I looked at about a dozen posts on the forum that was linked, and every one was spam. Very poor.

Not what I would call a useful resource for people with eBay problems.

Very good points here. These sites, like, "I hate Pay Pal", or "I hate eBay" really leave a bad taste for me. There is very little balance as you say. More over, it is just pure emotion, with little substance. To top it off here, we had spam and garbage posts and links on these sites. I'm thinking that often times these people are just using the well known branded names of companies to garner hits and ad revenue for themselves.

Talk about hypocrites. :-D
