        I hate "Buy It Now".
        I used to love eBay.  It was a great source for random and hard to find stuff, and with the auction format, you could feel fairly certain that you were getting a reasonable price, whether you were buying or selling.  However, over the years, eBay has steadily destroyed that system.  Adding Buy It Now, readjusting the listing charges so that you can list something practically forever with a stupidly high opening bid or only BIN price with no added costs, regardless of how long it sits there, piling on fees to the point that only high volume sellers are profitable, shackling everyone to PayPal, ("The world's most loved way to pay and get paid" my ass) and the general refusal to address continuing issues of fraud have all made me go to eBay as only a last resort.  They've turned it into an Amazon Marketplace clone, albeit with higher shipping charges and worse customer service.

            I don't mind buy it now options if they would make it mandatory to bid as well

                      Exactly. I like to call such hubris "masturbatory design."

                        This I can use to describe many things from now on.  Thanks MC.

                          My car broke down with severe motor damage out of the blue and I can't afford a replacement engine. Yet I need to drive 100 km per day to get to work. Feels like a punch in the guts.

                                        I hope something works out max. What a terrible situation. As an ignorant American, I'd assumed there were bountiful public transportation options to get from anywhere to anywhere else in Europe.

                                          Mega my main issue isn't corporations here, it's bad science and corporate cronyism spreading lies about which foods are safe. No one said burgers are good for you, but here in the states at least we are told to eat lots of "healthy whole grains." That's an oxymoron. Even the American Diabetic Association's official diet tells diabetics to eat these. This is quite literally the worst thing they could do for their condition this side of mainlining glucose. It does, coincidentally I'm sure, drive insulin usage and consumption / sales. And obesity and obesity related illness. Mainstream medicine is literally making people sick or sicker with their official dietary recommendations.

                                          If I were just a smidge more paranoid I'd say this is all intentional. Health care certainly makes more money when more grievously ill people are around.

                                          Think it, be it.

                                            I get the feeling we could have a fairly deep conversation about topics of this nature and not find major disagreements. A little paranoia is a sign of critical thought, particularly in the modern age.
