Why do people on anandtech call ebay egay?

[zephyrprime]

Do people on Anandtech not like ebay? If so, why not? I think Ebay is great. Also, I've never seen any other forums where people regulary deride ebay.

Until recently that was a bannable offense around here....did it to get around the filters.

 

[Alienwho]

and now it's just habit.

The only place I've ever been ripped off was at Ebay. Ebay is to Online Trading as AOL is to the Internet.

And you are to intelligence as Madonna is to chastity

 

[MrCodeDude]

Like Red Dawn said, many people have had bad experiences on eBay. And the other people would just follow the crowd. I personally, like you, love eBay. Then again, I wouldn't buy most of my computer utilities from eBay.

The word eBay used to be a banned word on AT forums to prevent people from linking to auctions they were running...Just recently the word was unbanned.

 

[nicowju]

And in Goldbear's attempt to thank his mom, he posts pictures of her on the ATOT forums for all to scrwe with.
