I'm still surprised how ebay hasn't been sued for monopoly related charges...they've bought out all major auction sites in recent years and they bought paypal and force their users to use it. |
That sounds like a better plan, instead of creating a auction site to create eBay who was first in it's kind and took time to become a mutli billon dollar company. I think it would be better if the citizens who are tried of eBay take their issues to the government to help be sued for monopoly related charges. Even though they are a online company, that doesn't mean that the same rules that applies to regular companies doesn't apply to them. They bought skype and some of craiglist and the list can go on, but I think they face a bigger crime when they bought the financial company Paypal and force users to use them, which they unfairly judge everyone who is a seller as a scammer. I think they if they are sued for monopoly related charges and the government makes them let go of the monopoly grip on Paypal. Things would probably get a little better on eBay.
