I'm getting all my old #rare #books relisted at #eBay this year, and I've got an interesting one for you today, a #FirstPrinting of #GarrisonKeillor's now classic 1985 #LakeWobegonDays. Includes rare dust jacket correction sticker stating that "A Prairie Home Companion" airs on American Public Radio, not NPR. Just $50 or your best offer!

eBay will impose mandatory arbitration on consumers.

Your only option, according to eBay, is to "... stop using our services."

It's time to close the account.

🧐 Arbitration was created for parties of equal bargaining power. Instead, it is used by bad actors to destroy those limited protections to which consumers are entitled. Bad actors do this because they are afraid that they cannot compete fairly.

Yes, this is not a sexy story -- but the coercive use of #arbitration is harmful and costly to you and yours.
