We all know that whatever changes are made by eBay will be received negatively by Canadian sellers.

That is a reality we are all used to.  

It does not matter what we think, what we suggest, what we say, eBay Inc, an American public company, will do what it feels is best for its shareholders based on its understanding of the American marketplace.

Plus ca change.... plus c'est la meme chose.

We are but a sand flea to com. Why even bother considering any of this.

It's our job to use eBay to our best advantage. It would be great if eBay did something for us, but I won't be holding my breath.

Well, I do not know how to paste a screenshot.

Someone started the same post on the US boards and it is not being well liked or accepted either.

From the second article

"eBay is acquiring Artificial Intelligence"

Hopefully ebay management will be replaced by artificial intelligence since there is so little there.

[dutchman48]

But Ebay will program the artificial intelligence to do what they want. The dumb programming the dumb.

You know, dumb and dumber

[bozonet]

This must be a joke. 

The same company that can't program a proper shopping cart system or even a simple migration tool?

The same company that continues to remove functionality every time they update something that used to work fine? 

The same company that thinks Cassini is an effective search tool?

The same company that released one of the worst designed and most inefficient mobile apps I've ever seen? 

When eBay and intelligence are mentioned in the same sentence the words "lack of" should also appear. 

FYI eBay ... not everyone wants to buy cheap Chinese trash or wants to follow one search named "Justin Bieber".
