eBay, the place where you can buy and sell anything short of a human kidney has decided that sellers can no longer leave buyers negative feedback. What this means is that if Joe-loser decides he doesn’t want to pay you, your only recourse is to file a non-payment claim, but cannot leave bad feedback to alert other potential sellers about the deadbeat.

This gives buyers carte-blanche the ability to threaten sellers that they will leave bad feedback if they don’t do certain things. They have you by the balls, my friends. This is pretty sad, in my opinion, and eBay doesn’t care. They feel they are protecting BUYERS from the evil sellers. Wrong.

Next - Yelp users beware - a lawsuit filed by a loser chiropractor in San Francisco against negative feedback he got has sent a ripple through the Yelp-ers of the world. This ambulance chaser is pissed because a guy with a bad back didn’t like his billing procedures. So is he going to sue me because I am calling him a loser? Loser, loser, loser. I have been to 2 chirprators in my life and both were pretty good but they have a reputation that isn’t so hot, and we are all aware of this no matter how untrue it may be.

But then again, how accurate is Yelp? There are people who give glowing reviews of Mickey D’s and Wendy’s…”ooohhh, the best damn Big Mac ever….just the right amount of secret sauce…”

I went to a place in Milpitas, CA last week called e-noodle. It was just plain horrible. A hair in the soup…no apology….nasty pot stickers and bland noodles. My tablemates were all in agreement this was just plain bad. And sure enough, there were Yelpers that said they were the best pot stickers they ever had.

Opinions….that is what I am all about….love me or hate me
