ebay safe harbor means no matter what ebay may do to lead you to think you are safe transacting business on their site, you really are not safe.

This safe harbor thing is for eabys safety, not yours. There it is plain English: EBYAY"S SAFE HARBOR IS FOR THEIR SAFETY, NOT YOURS! They should have this printted in bold type on their home page. You like me heard safe harbor and thought that would be a good thing for me, nope!

You are not safe in ebays safe harbor. They are quite safe. They lobby Congress with cash donations, play golf, party with senators and congressmen and the whole stick . Do you? No, I thought so.

ebay is so smart they have a cute little CEO to put a nice face on the whole thing, but hey bottom line, she is a business whiz and that means protecting ebay with a safe harbor. You are in ebay's safe harbor to trade, but it is a misnomer because it is a safe harbor for the owner, ebay, not you.

If you get ripped off here, you are on your own, ceptin of coure all the emails that they will send you to spin you around in "their" safe harbor.

Hey, where can customers like me get a safe harbor? Not on ebay!

Paypal, owned by ebay, does not have a safe harbor. They are simply not honoring legal claims and are getting away with it becuse they are big and you are small.
