eBay sends out surveys to gather data to justify their future plans. And we get a lot of them.

We received yesterday (7/6/2009) the survey email below (personal information edited out). And it told us a great deal about how organized eBay is today.

The email is dated “From eBay Research Wed Jun 17 21:24:51 2009

“Tell me Doctor, where are we going this time? Is this the 50’s or 1999?”

Recently, it appears that Mr D. and staff aren’t asking Qs just to get the answers that they want to hear.

Perhaps we can return to 2005, 2003, 2001 or even 1999! And have a happier, healthier and more successful buying and selling environment.
