What is Evilbay?
1.
Ebay is a large corporation with a lot of enemies around the world, resulting from its treatment of the customer (both buyers and sellers), near total lack of customer service, naked corporate greed, and corporate secrecy. The term "evilbay" has, not surprisingly, come into common usage when referring to the firm. It's commonly heard at flea markets and estate sales, and has become part of our modern culture. It clearly deserves to be officially added to slangdefine.
"I got ripped off on evilbay yesterday. The seller sold me a fake gold Rolex for $3,700. I tried to get my money back but I couldn't even find evilbay's 800 number, as it is hidden from customers so as to reduce evilbay's customer service workload".
