Re: [Chrysler300] 300G convert relist

[Nancy Kramer <nekramer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I do not think your analogy is valid.    This hurts Ebay's brand.  I know 
about brand being in the online business with several web sites including 
my flagship site American Dream Cars www.americandreamcars.com.   Comparing 
Ebay and alcohol is definitely comparing apples and oranges.  Alcohol in 
moderation has been shown to actually be helpful for good health.  Fraud is 
never helpful for anything.

Alcohol is a drug and like any drug can be abused.  Ebay is a business and 
like any business can be abused for fraud but that is  where the likeness 
stops.

I am looking at Ebay from the perspective if I owned it.  I would 
definitely want people to trust my market place.  If they do not trust 
it  they will not buy.

People know and trust alcohol.  It has been behaving the same way since 
some cave man figured out how to make it and that it had interesting 
effects.  Don't think the effects have changed much either and it is a very 
socially acceptable drug in most societies.

Ebay is a marketplace and alcohol is a drug.  I am sipping on a glass of 
red wine as I write this.  By the way alcohol in moderation is supposed to 
me helpful for lowering cholesterol - especially red wine - and it is also 
good for menopause symptoms in women.  Probably safer than the HRT stuff 
all the doctors push that they finally figured out was bad for you after 
prescribing it for 30 years.

Anyway one is a drug and the other an online marketplace.  Ebay needs 
fixing, alcohol seems to work just fine the way it is.  Very 
different.  You can abuse anything if you try hard enough even cars.

Regards,

Nancy Kramer
