I’m not looking for any.
The reason for asking is that I’m perplexed by the amount of people who refuse to name eBay, calling it fleabay, evilbay, ‘that well known internet auction site’, ‘you know where on the internet’ etc, anything but eBay. For a long time I’ve been asking why but not one single person has ever put their hand up & explained themselves.
eBay, eBay, eBay, eBay, eBay, eBay. I’ve said it & the world is still going round!

Sorry, Brian … I wouldn’t have bothered trying to help if I had realised you were just having a go at Nick.
I cannot speak for Nick, but I would assume that he was trying to comply with the ‘Code of Conduct’
… You may realise that I risked censure by naming ebay when trying to help you.
I do agree, however, that the previous nonsensical [and surprisingly widespread] practice using of silly names was ridiculous.
