I’m assuming it’s hackers at Apple, because if it’ s a co-branding thing, it’s just bloody rude and disrespectful to the customer.

STEPS:

  1. Go to ebay.com.au
  2. Type in iPhone – like this ebay-iphone
  3. hit return.
  4. You’ll be HIJACKED to a page called http://www.ebayasiapromo.com/sgwidget/apple/dlp?site=15&kw=apple+mac
    (once I got ipod classic instead).
  5. looks like this ebay-apple
  6. There are no – none- zero-null iphones on that page.
  7. I don’t know how to look up iPhones on eBay now. I want an old 8g, 2G one. Less than $500 kthnxbai
  8. Bloody eBay. Bloody Apple.

How annoying is that? eBay stop it – you might have done a deal with Apple to help them sell new, expensive uncracked iPhones, but seriously, where are your manners?  and whatever deal you’ve done, you won’t make as much from selling a handful of new ones as you will make from all the second hand ones. For God’s sake, eBay, get back to your authentic brand of selling second hand stuff, and stop trying to make us think you are Apple resellers!

… or have I completely lost the plot? Wouldn’t be the first time :P   is there an easy way to list iPhones being sold on eBay Australia?

The times, they are a-changin’: Amazon may offer DRM-free music from major labelsAmazon seems set to open a mainstream online music store as early as next month, and aims to follow the new EMI/Apple model of offering tracks unencumbered with DRM.The company already sells music from a number of independent labels, but has reportedly approached the majors with a proposal to offer unprotected MP3 tracks from their catalogues. EMI has already indicated a willingness to provide unprotected tracks in any format a retailer cares to sell, so it would be surprising if a EMI/Amazon deal wasn’t imminent.
