Registered users receive additional benefits such as daily updates and the right to participate in our user feedback forum and the bulletin board Welcome to eBay s luctionWeb. Please read on about the AuctionWeb vision. From the founder: I launched eBay's AuctionWeb on Labor Day, 1995. Since then, this site has become more popular than I ever expected, and I began to realize that this was indeed a grand experiment in Internet commerce. February 26, 1996 By creating an open market that encourages honest dealings, I hope to make it easier to conduct business with strangers over the net Host people are honest. And they mean well. Some people go out of their way to make things right. I've heard great stories about the honesty of people here. But some people are dishonest. Or deceptive. This is true here, in the newsgroups, in the classifieds, and right next door. It's a fact of life But here, those people can' t hide. We'll drive them away. Protect others from them. This grand hope depends on your active participation. Become a registered user. Use our feedback forum. Give praise where it is due: make complaints where appropriate. For the past six months, I've been developing this system single-handedly, in my spare time. Along the way, I've dealt with complaints among participants. But those complaints have amounted to only a handful. We' ve had close to 10,000 auctions since opening. And only a few dozen complaints Now, we have an open forum. Use it. Make your complaints in the open. Better yet, give your praise in the open. Let everyone know what a joy it was to deal with someone. Above all, conduct yourself in a professional manner. Deal with others the way you would have them deal with you Remember that you are usually dealing with individuals, just like yourself. Subject to making mistakes. Well-meaning, but wrong on occas31on. That's just hman. We can live with that. We can deal with that. We can still make deals with that Thanks for participating. Good luck, and good businesS!
