Anyone else get this e-mail from Scott and Doreen Susor?

Don't they mean MAKING not bringing?

"Susor's eBay registration was pulled last week, which means he's no longer doing business on the Internet flea market, at least not under his own name. Spokeswoman Evonne Gomez declined to say if Susor had been banished because of The Markel Report. "I can't give specifics on this account because of privacy issues," Gomez said. "But the activity outlined on Net54 would not be tolerated by eBay.

"We have a very solid relationship with law-enforcement," Gomez added. "We take these kinds of allegations seriously."

Maybe it was a mutual agreement when ebay allegedly told him to leave?

Kicked off Ebay. Left Ebay. Semantics....


ED McDONNOUGH: "You mean you busted out of jail."

EVELLE: "No, ma'am. We released ourselves on our own recognizance."

GALE: "What my brother here means to say is that we felt that the institution no longer had anything to offer us."

Anthony -- that's one of my favorite movies; I think I've memorized all the lines.

As for Susor, if he ever thought of suing Dan for his report he better hope that he didn't lie about how he 'left' ebay because that would make for a hilarious bit of impeachment at his deposition, i.e. that even after getting caught by Dan he would still have no problem lying to the public... But I'm sure Susor isn't that stupid to have lied about that. I find that mobile DJs who practice their trade at swingers clubs are usually pretty sharp.

Granted I'm sure that those connected within the hobby aren't really the people for whom that email was intended, but does Scott even realize how much of a D-nozzle he looks like to people like us that know the story (thanks to Dan) when he tries to "spin" like that? Guess he has to try to keep whatever dumb customers he has left.

That's really odd. I never got that e-mail. I guess I need to check with my internet provider to make sure that there haven't been any glitches in the system.

I just had a chance to peruse their website and just looked at their "About Us" section and they were nice enough to share their business model regarding the justification for starting this new website instead of selling on eBay.


"Over the past year or so, we feel that eBay has made some significantly negative changes to it's business model, affecting both buyers and sellers. Specifically, eBay continues to increase its fees while providing less product and service. Additionally, eBay continues to make it more difficult on smaller sellers and on all buyers with increasingly oppressive rules and policies. It became impossible for us to justify the cost and restrictions of selling on eBay."

I wonder what "oppressive rules and policies" they were referring to?
