š Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou⦠eBay? šļø
ā The Ostrich Report, Week 4: A Love Song for a Platform That Ghosted Us
Oh eBay, thou ancient temptress of the trade,
Whose listings once made hearts and PayPal swoon.
We sung thy glory 'fore Amazon did invade,
Now all thatās leftāa dusty Deals tab strewn.
Thy Turbo Listerācurse its cruel lag!
Thy categories, like ghosts, do rearrange.
Still, thou art our first love, warts and all,
Even if thy homepage smells strangely... vintage.
In this weekās tale, Hendrik and I do pine,
For the days of Beanie Babies and DSL.
But mid our praise, we misquote half thy timeline,
And accidentally call Pierre "Phil" (our bad, farewell).
š Yet love is blindāand so are weāwith no sponsor still to pay our fee.
šļø Watch us stumble, sigh, and maybe learn... or not.
š¦ We ask: Can you still sell your soul on eBay... and get next-day shipping?
š Hit play. Send us love. Send us sponsors. Or at least a decent offer with free returns.
