Auction of ebaY info

Oct 30 2001 -
This auction was put up by an ebaY seller and TAG subscriber. It was for the URL link on the TAG website that led to ebaY's Contact info.

ebaY ended the auction, and have now prohibited the sale of URL's on their site. It is interesting that ebaY finds TAG such a threat - why are they so afraid of information? Last we checked this IS a democracy, where the laws for freedom of speech and freedom of information are ingrained and important. ebaY is a publicly traded company - WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO HIDE???

The Auction -
Ebay Contact Info - Toll Free Numbers - More!
Hard to find information on this on-line giant. Tried finding contact information for ebay on their website? Good luck! For such a huge company, it's surprisingly difficult to find much contact information at all. You want it? I got it:
2 Toll Free Phone numbers
Several 408 area code numbers
Physical address for their San Jose location Officer Information Ebay's spokeperson Kevin Purseglove's Phone Number
Email addresses of several support staff Where to go for a listing refund
The option of signing up for a free pro-consumer ebay electronic newsletter (Not automatic, You have to sign up yourself.) Winning this auction will generate zero spam. You will be sent a URL containing the above information.
*** Ignore the Fine Print below: Winner must contact me, jworkman@erinet.com . Winner to either Paypal $1, or send $1 cash to me. Paypal winners will be sent the URL as soon as I notice the deposit has been made. Cash customers will receive the URL after providing a LEGIBLE email address for me to use. DO NOT USE EBAY CHECKOUT! IT DOES NOT & WILL NOT WORK ON MY AUCTIONS.
Thank You.
