This expansionism of American values is colonialism by e-proxy." You have GOT to be joking! America is the last refuge of the corporate robber baron. There is close to zero consumer protection, practically no labor protection except that negotiated by unions who have spent the last eight years fighting union busting legislation. No right to paid holiday or vacation time, no National Health system, no right to health care in fact, and minimum wages at below what is needed to keep a roof over your head and buy food. We have no "Trading Standards Authority", no Council Housing and no cradle to grave social welfare net. Many states do not even have right to work legislation. What you are seeing is classic corporate eBay lever pulling as we head into the end of Q2-09, and it comes from a culture of pure corporate greed not any misguided concept of consumer protectionism. “Finally, my thought here is that American nannyism and litigant-elevationism is guiding eBay policy in markets which have no historical cultures of such conditions.
