EBay: The company we love to hate
Fri, 04 Jul 08

With the news today that eBay was ordered to pay $61 million to settle a lawsuit in France and the news that the Australians are preventing eBay's plans to require 100% PayPal for all sellers for all listings, there has been much cheering from the sidelines. It seems that there everybody is celebrating eBay's misfortunes. It is understandable that eBay's competitors, like Google, Amazon, and Craigslist, would be rejoicing today but there are literally hundreds of websites, blogs, and bulletin boards where thousands of people are doing the "Happy Dance". It is crystal clear, even to eBay, that there is widespread anger toward eBay. So the question is "How did eBay Become the Company Everybody Loves to Hate?"
