Title: eBay has a sense of humor !
Post by: MovieMan on April 23, 2013, 01:27:15 PM: You may or may not have gotten this email from eBay...depends on your level of activity, etc.

Look at the number of free ads they offered me. It would take many 24 hour days of work to post that many unless they were the "similar" kinds items and still one could "never" do it. What are they thinking ?

Could an automated program put up 200,000 separate listings in a week's time ? Somehow I doubt it, but who knows.

They weren't thinking, just like whomever setup that batting picture without a helmet on the kid.

That's about one ad every 3 seconds, 24/7.
