Reading Response
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.
