Ebay - More now

I see the ebay ads and I took a look at many. Shouldnt we be linking to Amazon or some other music dealer? Ebay has a LOT of pirated material. Someone could be burning Alizee cd's in their basment selling them thru here.... Just a thought. Id hate to see her sales effected by pirates.

The only link to buy Alizée's CDs that is designated by this site is in the top-right corner, and it links to Amazon. The Google ads may link to eBay, but those links are chosen by Google's algorithm. So I'm not sure of what links you're referring to.

Anyway, there is nothing wrong with eBay. While it's true that there is piracy on eBay, this is primarily with DVDs, and you can quickly tell if somebody deals in copyright infringement by reading their feedback. I've made countless successful disc purchases on eBay, and all were legitimate but one, and that was because I did not read feedback.

MAL I GOT THE SAME THING. My mom can't read French so amazon.fr was off the list. So she got En Concert from ebay. It came with 3 CDs with bad quality and no book inside.
I knew it was the wrong thing so I sent it back.

yea those ebay ads are google ads. it's generated on its own, but if you look at the buy alizee CDs and DVD link at the upper right corder, it takes you to amazon.

Google controls its own ads, and doesn't take input.
