Sale of GGB Prank Part of EBay Protest

(BCN) SAN FRANCISCO In an act of protest against the Bay Area based company eBay, one eBay user located in New York City has placed the Golden Gate Bridge for sale, and the highest bid is a pitiful $.99 cents.

A user by the name of gmajorspresents, who has received nothing but positive feedback on his sales, is using the hypothetical sale of the bridge to illustrate what he perceives to be major flaws in eBay policy.

gmajorspresents calls for "a three strikes and you're out" complaint policy "for sellers using straw bidders." He insists that sellers should "list postal and handling charges separately," and require signature of the recipient of any item sent by mail. gmajorspresents also demands a 24-hour hotline to field complaints "instead of 2 day vague email responses."

As online business proliferates, it is not a wonder online protest does as well. This past holiday season the term "Cyber Monday" was the new "Black Friday," and countless transactions go on online everyday.

However, the Golden Gate Bridge auction has been viewed 460 times with only one bidder. Perhaps this is because the bridge is not actually for sale, according to a Golden Gate Bridge dispatcher, who likely would have been notified of the possible termination of his employment.


If anyone out there thinks ebay is a good place to even visit, I also have a bridge for sale.
