eBay has vastly more categories that appeal to middle aged women than does ONSL. A good percentage of sellers in certain categories (textiles, dolls....) are women. Take the time to browse the collectible sections at eBay and you will see that this is true. I think I will be bold enough to stereotype and say both women and men would expect rip-off artists to be mostly men at eBay at this point. Women will trust women more than men. It is not my logic, it is what the better half is telling me while I'm writing this.
How on earth, can ONSL compete when they are limited by the amount of their own inventory (excluding NEI, CD Masters,& True Geeks stuff) and especially when that inventory has a limited shelf-life?
Next argument, please.

PS. Notwithstanding, there was a message on the eBay thread about complaints to the CA attorney general about the lack of control of fraud. Is seems only fair to me if someone is a victim of fraud and eBay is successful in collecting the seller's fee from Visa, then that amount should be forwarded to the defrauded buyer after substantiation. Why should eBay profit on a fraud transaction? Mostlikely, the crooks are skipping on their Visa payments also, so it is a mute point. |
