Here's one for the record books...
So I found out today that eBay's find your item/pre-filled information for U.S. Master System games is totally screwed. Here's why. It seems all those years ago whoever did the pre-filled info for the SMS games listed games A through Missile Defense 3-D as platform = Master System. Then they listed Monopoly through Zillion II as platform = Sega Master.
Why is this a problem? Because there is no platform category Master System! If you list any of the A - Missile Defense 3-D games using the pre-filled info you will not be able to navigate through the site categories and find them. This is a pretty big deal since many people don't search, instead using the Video Games > Games > Sega Master navigation method.
So I get on eBay Live Help. The rep I get is a pretty much a total retard. It takes about ten minutes for them to even navigate Video Games > Games > Sega Master. I don't want to relay the whole thing but basically it took over an hour. At the end the rep's supervisor was the one who noticed the Master System/Sega Master problem.
But there's more! They wanted me to submit error reports for all of the screwed up games! How can they expect me to do this? Why don't they do it themselves all at once? Man, they really burn me up sometimes. I guess the lesson is eBay is lame (not a newsflash) and if you're listing SMS games above Monopoly in the alphabet you have to do it manually. Bloody bastards.
