Results 1 - 10 of about 1,450,000 for fuck ebay. Don't ask me why, but a few days ago, I tried a Google search for "fuck ebay" (without the inverted commas), and was amused to note there were about 1.5 million results. It seems like a lot of people dislike eBay enough to create a web page expressing their opinion. It amused me enough to decide to share it with the rest of the world, hence this page. Fuck Who or What Else? Of course, a single figure cannot be a meaningful statistic without some relative point to compare it with, so I tried to think who or what might also be unpopular, starting with Microsoft, and got some interesting results:- 2,030,000 fuck bush. 1,450,000 fuck ebay 891,000 fuck microsoft 789,000 fuck bell 672,000 fuck labour 618,000 fuck ferrari 563,000 fuck blair 489,000 fuck bin laden. 266,000 fuck conservatives 168,000 fuck enron Conclusions It's probably rather rash to attempt to draw firm conclusions from a lazy form of quick poll such as this, especially without trying to analyse any of the results to check they are anti the same subject as we presume. Even so, it is probably a safe bet that most of the "fuck Bush" results were protesting about George W. Bush, the US President, rather than any anti-shrubbery motives. If so, we can see from the above table that the only person, company or other entity more unpopular the eBay is George Bush junior. It also seems that eBay are over 50% more unpopular than Microsoft, and over three times more so than Bin Laden! I also performed a Google search simply for "fuck" in order to obtain a shortlist of hate objects, tested those results in the same way as above, and discarded any which failed to make the top ten above. Enron only just made it onto the list, which I found surprising, considering it recently perpetrated the world's biggest financial scandal, and must have lost billions of dollars for its shareholders and other creditors. Apparently eBay has upset about 9 times more people than Enron already, and as it's still a going concern, it makes me wonder just how unpopular it will allow itself to become before it does something positive to fix the problem.

Other Results While compiling the above table, I realised that I was omitting some results, but these were mainly for search terms which I believed may have been using the word "fuck" in its more correct term, so for example:- 3,330,000 fuck women 2,810,000 fuck men 1,480,000 fuck gay 871,000 fuck gays Any of the above, may be ambiguous, and be intended to convey extreme dislike, or the opposite, or be some kind of adverting! Familiarity May Breed Contempt At least, the better known the entity, the more people there may be who detest it, even if there are also more who love it. It reminds me that some years ago, British Airways used to win the "Most Popular" and "Least Popular" categories in an annual air travel survey. Just after writing that last sentence, I checked whether I had originally searched for "fuck BA" or "fuck British Airways", and "fuck BA" registered 617,000, while "fuck British Airways" scored 810,000. Many of these last two results appeared not to be directed at the airline, so it's probably correct to ignore them. Entities such as tax, and government are likely to be more universally recognised than Bush or eBay, a dislike if government might well be directed at many of the hundreds of governments worldwide, so we tried tested them also, with the following results, this time including a few other popular expressions:- 19,200,000 fuck you 17,700,000 fuck me 6,910,000 fuck all 3,670,000 fuck work 2,250,000 fuck yourself 1,820,000 fuck government 1,770,000 fuck congress 1,500,000 fuck police 1,170,000 fuck blacks 809,000 fuck tax 698,000 fuck george bush 478,000 fuck whites 266,000 fuck conservatives Final Comment It looks like more research would be needed to draw firm conclusions from much of the above, but even so, it looks as though performing a Google search for fuck combining with the object of your interest may provide a quick popularity guide. eBay Feedback on eBay? Alright, one final thought for this page, and perhaps a good subject for another page, if people could give eBay a feedback rating as they can for other users, what would it be? As eBay claim over 100 million users, on one quick reckoning, its feedback might be a reasonably respectable 98.5%. This ignores that fact that feedback on eBay is almost automatic, while creating a fuck eBay web page takes more effort. This leads us to guess that eBay's own eBay feedback rating might only be a pathetic 85% or even worse. Little wonder eBay don't include an option to rate eBay itself, is it?
