GRRRRRRR

So I get an email from eBay saying that they'd like me to participate in an online survey to help *improve the online shopping experience.* Fine, I'm OK with that. :)

First they ask how often I shop, items I've bought, etc. THEN they get into more specifics. They want to know the actual sites I've purchased from, the items I've bought AND the cost, both actual and s/h. Now I'm thinking, *Fuck off! None of your damn business* But of course, there's no key that SAYS that, so I just keep pushing *continue.* Well, the screen keeps coming back, saying *If you don't remember, please estimate.*

So I close the screen and send eBay an email which says:

Hello--

I don't mind taking a survey to assist in general shopping research, etc, including items purchased and sites purchased from. But I WILL NOT supply actual costs or amounts paid (or even *estimates*) or any other financial information whatsoever. It's nobody's business but mine and the person from whom I purchased the item. End of story.

Please take me off your list for any *research* which includes financial disclosures of this nature.

Thank you.

Bastards!
