I know you've said you feel constrained to abide by that ridiculous
interpretation of the TOS, especially since you wish to continue to
bid on things at eBay. But do you honestly think people who have no
desire to register or use eBay are truly bound by their TOS simply
by viewing the pages?
What if I setup a TOS at BRICKS that includes something about
sending me all gray macaroni bricks in your posession, and make it
apply as of the first moment you view the front page? Maybe that's
more ridiculous but it seems like the same thing to me.
I do not accept that providing unsuspecting bidders with more
information that eBay or the seller is willing to provide them is
bid siphoning, nor do I accept that I am bound to refrain from such
action. If renouncing my eBay membership is what it takes for some
to feel comfortable with me doing that, so be it. Let's see how to
do that...
Well, I just spent 20 minutes looking through eBay and didn't find a
way to do it. Oh well, I'll just agree not to use it anymore.
