Don't explore. Don't improve. Don't innovate. Don't distribute. Don't sublicense. Don't do "unauthorized" things. Don't do nuttin' or you might get sued." That's just an excerpt from the summary of Microsoft's latest Trojan horse for Linux businesses.

Is eBay Now Completely Unusable? 0

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Thursday July 26 2007, @11:07AM

An anonymous reader writes "I recently read an article about one person's experience trying to sell on eBay, which closely reflects my own. According to the author, eBay is now riddled with so much active fraud and spam that is has become impossible to sell anything or conduct business in any way. He suggests several ways eBay could fix the problem, none of which have yet been implemented. So I'd like to tap the Slashdot community and get more advice for how to make eBay usable for myself, and what else you think eBay should do to fix all their problems?"
