Sometimes the most powerful companies just do not know when to let things just ride out, this obviously seems a case in point whereby their actions have made things a thousand times worse than any original complaint or moaning could have done to the company.

Found it!

I quickly flipped and skimmed some of the posts back to 2018. It looks like the From the Editor columns are the ones where she tended to really take ebay to task.

The thing that immediately jumps to mind is could this be a 'Watergate' moment for eBay? A total overreaction that brought down a President could it do something similar here?

(For those too young look up 'Watergate, President Nixon' for an explanation. )

Bizarre I remember reading this. Agree with all.

But did the CEO know?

Apparently, no.
