APRIL FOOLS’ DAY ACTIVITIES

The suggestion of everyone listing 100 items on 1 April is still a brilliant idea; a present for the greatest April Fool (you know who) himself; he will then be able to boast to all the dopey media and stock-market analysts about how successfully he has boosted eBay listings (shame about the still decreasing marketplace revenues, but we won’t talk about that).

So, everyone should take up the Don’s offer of 100 free listings with a nice digital photo of something totally inane (a pic of the Don?), with free delivery and an auction start of $0.01 (overpriced at that).

That should give eBay’s system a good work out. (If it’s good enough for all those unscrupulous users trading in fraudulent feedback that eBay cannot but know about but still does nothing about, why not for the rest of us?)

eBay: ‘Dead man walking’—and deservedly so.
PayPal: Systemically dysfunctional to the core.
