Complete and utter imbeciles. Morons. Idiocracy personified. My fucking drones have done it again, right on cue. We at eBay Inc. offer a listing fee sale/promotion, and despite their outrage over the new fees and the planned "boycott," the retards go on a listing tear! eBay.com showed a gain of almost 2 million listings today. Score: eBay 10 - drones ZERO.
Diary, I'm embroiled in the midst of a paradox so bittersweet that I'm beginning to cream my pants-suit. My drones helped make me a billionaire, but they are so very fucking stupid. I realize that exploiting their weaknesses is good for my bottom line, but I also know that I should feel sorry for these poor sons-of-bitches! I feel like sending all the sellers a pack of Depends and a case of Snickers and Mountain Dew and saying, "Here, thanks for your service to eBay, enjoy, eat, drink and excrete for the next week while you sit in front of your computer listing more items on eBay."
Conversion rates on the US site have been dipping down below 30% and are now averaging below 40%. Even so, these brainless fools just jumped at the whiff of an insertion fee sale and boosted listings by 2,000,000! Why the don't understand that their conversion rates will drop even further during such a sale is beyond me. They could have waited a week, a goddamn week, and paid even less in listing fees, but they chose to jump at the listing promo and throw listings on the site.
They are so blind and so naive. What good is a "boycott" if they boost listings to about the same point as last year, just five days from the scheduled beginning of the boycott? Prior to this act of stupidity, eBay listings y/y were down significantly. Those 2 million listings effectively killed any shot at a boycott making any waves whatsoever. Over the next four days, even more sellers will flood eBay with listings in order to "stock up" before the "boycott" begins, pushing eBay listing volume even higher.
I win again!

I agree with your thoughts 100%, and that is why I haven't sold a damned thing on Ebay for almost 2 years. I set up my site elsewhere, and am doing fine. So many of these Ebay sellers are as dumb as cows being led to slaughter. They don't think before they list on Ebay, they just jump at the listing sales, and don't thing of the end results. The sellers bitch, and whine about everything wrong with the site, but they continue to let Ebay management drag them around by the balls. If the sellers don't like Ebay, then they should get the fuck off of the site, and set up elsewhere. That's the only way to send a clear message to the dumbasses in Ebay management.
Nice post Josh. How you find the time to manage so many blogs and sites?
