Submission + - GameStop drops Microsoft's Zune (www.cbc.ca)

Maow writes: GameStop, which operates in Canada and other countries through its EB Games brand, has decided to stop selling Microsoft Corp.'s Zune digital music player because of a lack of demand.

Microsoft earlier this month announced it had sold two million Zunes since their launch in November 2006 ... Apple in its most recent quarter sold 10.6 million iPods, or more than five times Microsoft's cumulative total over a year and a half.

Calgary man loses $20K after eBay sale hijacked"

CBC.ca is reporting that an eBay auction page has been hijacked. A Calgary man has lost $20,000 in the scam.

"When Duraj complained to eBay, the company wrote him a letter saying someone had temporarily taken over, or hijacked, the seller's page, and that he would have to contact police and the FBI."

If this gets out, I imagine it would scare a fair few people from bidding. At least on big-ticket items.
