Find ebays hidden question
This is a screenshot of an email that ebay.com sends you when a potential buyer has a question about an auction.
Can YOU find the actual question? Now picture a few auctions with a couple of questions each. The search for ebays hidden question is tantamount to an extremely not fun game of Operation.
I think this reflects how ebay has gone from the early days of casual sellers (when the real bargains could be found) to a fully automated money making machine. This email is just the tip of the iceburg. Shame on them and the unfriendly web they weave.

How about just a redesign of the email? That should conjure some participants.

That’d be too easy though. A photo of dog poop on the sidewalk would be a better design.
