Re: Throwback eBay - Pre 2002
As yankee mentioned, furthermore, the e-commerce market has exploded since, so much so it has become many people's primary shopping platform.
Fraud was also occurring back then. Of the little I bought/sold, I ran into it twice, the basic paypal chargeback after item had been despatched. Paypal however reimbursed me on BOTH occasions. I guess those were the days they were building bridges, so couldnt afford to have a bad name. But now, they will toss and turn whoever they feel like. But as mentioned before, not fair on good sellers, good reputation, good account standing, good history, good practices, but one thing goes wrong and you lose it all!
P.S. I still remember my user ID from the 1st account I ever made! Back in 2006.
