Xenu was trying an attack through eBay. Luckily the Scientologists got him shut down.

Okay, I’ll ask... What’s an e-meter?

L. Ron should have stuck to writing Science Fiction, but IMHO he wasn’t very good at that, either. I’m sure that Heinlein was thinking of his friend Hubbard when he wrote “One man’s religion is another man’s belly laugh.”

E-Bay: buy something you can’t see, hold or inspect from someone you’e never met. No worse than mail-order, I guess.

Unless the original material was sold with a limited license (like software) there is every right of a purchaser to resell goods. eBay is likely overreaching here, but that is their right.

eBay annoys me when it pulls an auction on the last day for a $1500 camera lens, because I mentioned that the $50 filter is available, too.

And when I tried to sell a legitimate Tiffany jewelry presentation box, they pulled the auction because it facilitated counterfeits (as if that would stop someone selling a counterfeit, or a buyer would assume legitimacy because of the box—it was valuable to help a buyer of used goods present them as a gift.)

But what really annoys me on eBay are the sellers that don’t give feedback when the buyer pays, withholding it until after the buyer gives feedback (keeping their unjustified retaliation open.)

That said, I love eBay, and use it plenty for buying and selling.

L Ron Hubbard was heavy into drugs and black magic for a time. His cult is a bunch of no talent money grubbers who fall for that bs Xenu story
