eBay Pulls Lavonne Drummond's Baby Naming Auction! The Bid was $15,000!

You all the Lavonne Drummond story, she needed money, so she put up an ebay auction for the rights to name her unborn child. The auction violated eBay policy and was pulled, with a top bid of $15,000. Now that's alot of money for Drummond, and when the auction was pulled, her family watching the auction was deflated...so she put up another auction, that was pulled, and then another, that was pulled. It was not until Fox News got involved that eBay let the auction run...but the bidding is nowhere near the $15,000 range......bidding on the new auction is over $2,000...as of posting this

Juan Zamora Uses Paypal Debit Card for Gas- $26.21. Paypal charges him $81,400,836,908. CSR Argues for 10 Minutes!!

Talk about chutzpah. There have been so many paypal horror story since eBay purchased them, and this one has to rank up there with the best. Tony Zamora, using his Paypal debit card charges $26 for gasoline, knowing the amount will debited to his PP account. But he had no idea that PP would actually charge him over 81 billion dollars. Obviously, a computer error, he called PP's cracked customer service department, and the CSR, who spoke in broken-English argued with him for 10-15 minutes.  "But, Did you buy gas?"......  Zamora says he will now pay cash for gas.

eBayer Patrick Munoz bids on item! Refuses to Pay for Spider drawing....just having a laugh on eBay

The folks who sell on ebay won't be happy with this story, nor will the ebay execs. Patrick Munoz bid on a drawing of a spider and won the item bidding $15,000.00. When contacted about his winning bid, Munoz boasted that he never had any intention of paying, and eBay has to say its a binding contract.....but the statement that gets me the most is " "I was just having a laugh about this".  Munoz bid on the seven-legged spider drawing created by David Thorne, which Thorne tried to use to pay off an overdue bill.

Let's see who has the last laugh on this.....Munoz is a jerk...and this is what eBay sellers deal with regularly.

eBay seller's 1963 Pontiac LeMans Tempest Body sells for $226,522.

eBay seller 123ecklin knew little about the rusted out shell of the 1963 Pontiac LeMans Tempest  he was selling. The owner had died, and left the car for sale. The starting bid started at $500.  The ending bid was $226,522. It's interesting viewing the original auction description, and the additional descriptions added throughout the auction- as the seller came to realize he was selling something very rare. One ebay member even gave the history of all six of the Pontiac LeMans Tempests sold.

eBay has been on a downward spiral since Meg Whitman vacated her CEO seat to John Donahue. Since Whitman left Donahue has pissed off sellers in mass. Driving them out of business or to other sites.  eBay is really making its money thru Paypal and Stubhub.  So the news of 1000 workers being laid off doesn't come as a great surprise to us "eBayers".   The site eBay is not the eBay that was a community of buyers tr and sellers looking for those great deals.  Ina Steiner at Auctionbytes has the story in her blog piece. But why the 5:30am conference call. Was this news so important it couldn't wait for the West Coast to wake up?
