boxingcardmanI can see the hamster wheels turning in their brains: 'If we limit the choices to our integrated payment system and some fictional third party system, we will pick up 3% of every sale in addition to our fees." They probably did a Ford Pinto cost/benefit on this one and decided that a % drop in traffic is worth the % gain in fees. That they will erode the best brand in the business by alienating an entire segment of the populace is irrelevant to them, I guess. As far as Ebay's long term planning and client interactions go, a nutless monkey could do a better job:
Studio Executive Rob Slolom: Wow. 8 Oscars, 400 million dollars at the box office, and you saved Tugg Speedman's career.
Les Grossman: I couldn't have done it without you.
Studio Executive Rob Slolom: Really?
Les Grossman: No, dickhead. Of course I could. A nutless monkey could do your job. Now, go get drunk and take credit at all the parties.
Studio Executive Rob Slolom: I wouldn't do that.
Les Grossman: Ah... joking.
Studio Executive Rob Slolom: Ah, there he is! Funny. You're a funny guy.
Les Grossman: Yeah. But seriously, a nutless monkey could do your job.
