I cannot stand that loudmouthed fool yelling at me...and what's in my wallet is none of his damned business, but I can assure you that it is NOT whatever it is HE'S selling.
Got nothing to do with color, but everything to do with an offensive a-hole.
And it ain't an act for the sake of the commercial...I once met him in person, in a relatively private encounter...I assure you...he IS an a-hole.
This points to the need for an eBay czar working out of the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department.
I think I saw that in the 14th Amendment.
I use eBay a bit. I’ve got a couple hundred transactions there, all purchases. I haven’t got a single clue about the skin color of ANY of the sellers. Even if anyone tried to reveal his skin color in any of the write-ups, I wouldn’t believe it, anyway. My purchase decisions are solely based on product requirements, cost, delivery, and sales reputation. Anyone who thinks otherwise, is just plain nuts.

Unless all the auctions were for the same card (player) the study is pretty much meaningless.
Let’s face it, America spread this “love blacks” to Europe, and not the other way round.
That they were of a different “culture” was irrelevant.
Not much different to the “Muslims” of today, they hated Western values and culture on the whole.
No wonder Asia wins!
Obviously the solution is to put a 20% surcharge on any ebay item sold by a black person. Its only fair, reflects our values and is who we are.
Indeed! The results of a few listings with a black hand visible tells us nothing. I hear people deriding eBay all the time, but usually they don’t really know what they are doing. They were too lazy to work at understanding how the system works. eBay is a huge marketplace. If you don’t know how to set up listings your stuff will just sit there or it won’t command what it should. Some items do well on auction, others require patience. Knowing which format and how to set your price on eBay is key.
I sell on eBay every single day. I make sure my titles are loaded with search terms and I have a lot of quality photos. When I started I learned what I needed to say in my listings by studying the sold listings. I have 100% perfect feedback with glowing comments from buyers. I communicate with my buyers and work at customer service, so those comments are earned. I always ship immediately, too. It takes time to prove yourself on eBay, but once you do the sales come faster. As soon as I earned Top Rated and Power Seller status I saw an uptick in sales.
My daughter is about to graduate from high school. She is going to college, but with what she knows she could skip college and in her first year she could earn $100k+ on eBay instead. And not because she is white, but because she knows what she is doing and she isn’t lazy.
One last thought, eBay is perfect way for retirees to supplement their incomes.
receive fewer letters from their state legislators,
ya know thats always been one of my favorite Wite Man Privleges....lotsa letters.... from my state legislators.
in conclusion let me axe that we do a careful examination
of the words of the great statesman and theologian Jimi Hendrix
“is this love or is it uh ..confusion?”
With my experience as a buyer (100% rating), I have no doubt that eBay is like any other marketplace where the smarter buyers pay less and the smarter sellers are paid more. As a buyer, I prefer the less-than savvy seller, especially when I’m looking at an auction. There’s nothing better than making that first bid at the end of a ten-day auction and I never, ever feel sorry for the chump who couldn’t think of a better way to word his or her listing’s title.
Amen and absolutely! I routinely sell items for 30% more than others are selling the same items for. I know seller ratings, feedback, and photograph quality plays a big part in that.
On the other hand, as an eBay buyer, I pay less than others do, too. There are certain quality items that simply don’t do well as Auction listings. I target a specific group of those items. I look for auctions with nominal opening bids and poor photos. I buy those items and then relist them as Fixed listings with great photos. It’s actually easy to turn a buck or two into $50-$150 using that strategy. 90% of my sales come via Fixed listings.
Knowing how to buy is key to success as a seller.
One more example of the waste of time and money spent by idiots at college campuses. In 1.5 years they’ll have found that they were wrong on this too.
