Well I am very sad that spring break is over!:( This week I went home and spent time with my family and bf. I was supposed to be going to Colorado to go skiing over the break.... but Cap had to get knee surgery so we had to scratch that trip! :( Instead we went and stayed at the lake for a couple of nights and I got to lay out some and we cooked out. It was pretty fun. I also had to take my car and get the front bumper fixed because some scratched the paint off the front and I have not even had the car two months. That kinda pissed me off. but other than that it was a pretty good break.

MLA Citation: Woda, Steve. What's Wrong With eBay? It's Simple Economics.
September 27, 2006.
Summary: Instead of ebay, buyers seem to be shopping elsewhere lately. The media is reporting continued fraud and emerging customer service problems with ebay. Ebay is slowly but surely going downhill. All the numbers are steadily dropping. Even ebays top sellers are no longer a part of ebay.
Importance: This work is important because it points out many things people probably don’t realize about ebay. One of the main points it throws out there to the public is the fraud, which is a huge deal. I gathered that either there are not enough buyers in demand or there are just too many sellers who are frauds.
Connections: Nothing relates to this article.
Supporting Source: This article supports my argument because it points out many things wrong with ebay. It mainly talks about the fraud, which was my main point in my argument. It’s hard to know what you’re spending your money on, and this article proves it.
Argumentative Source: I find all of these aspects very good points and I would not critique any of them.

MLA Citation: Bamberger, Alan. What’s wrong with Ebay. 1999.
Summary: This website talked about how things were sold before there was ebay. It tells how people would sell things at their houses and people would get to look at whatever it was before they decided to buy it. Now with ebay you never know what you’re getting because ebay does not require the seller to give the proper information to the buyer. It explains that the worse thing that happens if you get caught selling something that is not what it is said to be, you just get band from the website and that is it.
Importance: It is important because it makes people want to be more aware of what they are purchasing on ebay instead of taking it so lightly. That it is important for you to be very cautious about what you spend your money on.
Connections: In high school we had a computer class and at one point we studied about how cautious you should be on the internet and the problems with websites selling things on line. This relates to that because it is explaining how you should be cautious about the things being bought on ebay.
Supporting Source: This article is perfect for me to use because it explains how they do not give enough information while selling things on ebay. I think they should have to have things sent somewhere and looked at before they are put on ebay and sold.
Argumentative Source: I agree with everything in this article. If I had to disagree with something then it would be the fact that the sellers do not give any information and they could be lying about their selves and the thing their selling but it is also the buyers fault for just believing them.
