Every now and again, I feel the need to connect with my mother language and say things I can only say in German (usually in a very dark and sarcastic, yet very perosnal manner). It’s fun to read though, and a completely different writing personality from what I would write in English. Hence I’ve built a new outlet for this personality, a site called GESELLSCHAFTSKRITIK (translates into “Social Cristsicm”).

Something Fishy about eBay
Since eBay’s policy change about search results, shop prices and final value fees, things have been very different for me as a seller. Success turned into failure, making eBay more of a money making scheme for the people who run it and turning it away from what it used to be.
