You can even find wank on Ebay!
...and plenty of it.

This particular wank starts with sundancereal, who preaches about the eeeevils of PayPal:

Who gave eBay the Right to Place an Advertising Logo for Paypal on Our Auctions??? No One! Yet, we pay for our auctions, and there is nothing in this for us! Not One Nickel!!! Only an Irritation to Our Buyers, and Bids Slacking Off, because the Icons Detract from the Buyers Ability to Read our Titles!

Just for the heck of it, here's an example of one of sundancereal's auctions. Please notice the distinct lack of a [real] PayPal logo.

Anyhoo, sippingtea attempts to make a suggestion or two:

Instead of wasting her time on eBay discussion boards, the OP should go to college and take some freshman level business and economic courses to help her gain an understanding about corporate America. And while she is at it, she can take a business class on entrepreneurship so as to gain an understanding of how to sell profitably in the competitive internet marketplace. It is a foolish waste of her time and energy to keep coming to this board, bellowing about a payment option service and how the parent company chooses to integrate the payment service into their auction and search formats. A better use of her time is for her to study, learn and analyze, and gain an understanding of how to be profitable with her sales. Otherwise, I will repeat myself, if she doesn't like the environment in which she sells her products, or does not wish to change her product mix, or does not wish to adapt to the selling environment, then the answer is simply to stop selling on eBay.

It goes downhill from there. For five...I mean 14... freaking pages.

And just for the hell of it, here's Ebay by Weird Al Yankovic for your listening pleasure.
