EBay collections?

What is the deal with eBay collections?

Did you not pay your bill this month? If your payment method on record was returned or denied, or if you changed it during a billing cycle, they will contact you.

Is that what you are referring to?

Yeah, I am talking about this. http://http://www.ebay.com/cln/gooddogbadcat/Fishing-Lure-Central/111130156017?_trksid=p2045573.m2687.l4914&_trkparms=reqid%3Dcoll_1409505201643_1689036749%26collectionid%3D111130156017%26pos%3D5%26pid%3D1

Ebay's been pushing the social media route for the last year. Notice how you can comment on the pictures. Before it used to be "Saved Sellers" now it's "Sellers you follow". Pretty pathetic, if ebay would have stuck to their roots they would be booming and with less of a hassle, but they have become quite greedy. I don't think the second hand/rare/vintage market on ebay is going to be around after this decade is over, all that you will find on ebay is the same manufactured crap you could get anywhere else.

So it's just basically something "fun" you can do. You don't make any money off of it or anything?

I just think it is ebay wanting to know what interests you so they can pop up listings all over your screen specifically targeted to you.

Okay, that would make sense. It makes it hard to shop for a gift though when someone else uses the computer.

I just hope/wish someone finally gives these pigs some serious competition. I'm tired of the changes these aholes are constantly doing. I guess they've never heard the expression "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." They've gotten way too big for their britches and forgot where they came from.

Exactly!
