eBay - Land The Game Cards present fanciful situations and questions that are intended to amuse.
  1. If at any time during the play of the game, you do not understand the rules of play, we offer Live No Help. You are welcome to ask any question you like. We do not answer questions as we are ONLY A VENUE. Live No Help is designed to trap your opponent into an endless maze of frustration, debt and negative feedback. Don't pay the bank anything for this No Help.

  2. You know Tabberone (or of her web site), which enables you to avoid a VeRO takedown. Keep this card to get out of VeRO Hell free. This is your Counter VeRO-Card. It also removes one black mark from your record. If you have the Tabberone Game Playing Piece return this card to the deck as you don't need it.

  3. You attend eBay Live! and mistake eBay employees for a clerks working at Target® (Khaki pants and polo shirts). Bank pays you $10.00.

  4. Meg Whitman's corporate jet needs new upholstry. eBay fees are adjusted to compensate. Pay bank $25.00.

  5. You listing is shutdown by a VeRO member. Public Citizens Litigation Group in Washington, D.C. takes your case and, of course, you win. The case is settled in your favor and your takedown is reversed. Bank pays you $50.00.

  6. Meg Whitam's hairdresser is ill, she cancels appointment; eBay fees stay the same. Bank pays you $25.00.

  7. Your VeRO takedown was bogus. You submit your experience with documentation to Tabberone and the VeRO member is added to Tabberone's Hall Of Shame. Bank pays you $20.00.

  8. Meg Whitam stubs toe; eBay bans sale of open-toed shoes. Your inventory is shot. Pay bank $20.00.

  9. Elizabeth Arden uses VeRO to terminate all eBay Store listings alleging the "red door" logo being used by eBay violated the Arden trademarks. Your 356 listings are gone. eBay doesn't challenge the takedowns because eBay wants eBay Express to replace the stores anyway. eBay raises fees to replace revenue lost from the stores. Pay bank $20.00.

       :

  10. You join the FBI's Witness Protection Program. The FBI requires you open an eBay Store in order to maintain a low profile and remain somewhat invisible. Pay bank $20.00.

  11. While watching CSI one evening, Meg Whitman decides she wants a stretch Hummer also. Board approves purchase of Hummer painted in eBay rainbow colors. eBay fees increase, again. Pay bank $20.00.

  12. Meg Whitam orders personalized license plates for her new stretch Hummer painted in eBay rainbow colors: eBAYMEG. Meg has fit when she is told she cannot get a lower case "e" on her license plate, stomps her foot, breaking off her high heel, spraining her ankle. New shoes from Marc Jocobs are added to her discretionary budget. Litter bearers are needed for two weeks until she can walk again. eBay fees increase, again. Pay bank $20.00.


This is not a licensed eBay or PayPal product. It is however, inspired by the antics of the staffs of both companies and real situations that have happened (we could not make up all of this, folks!). e B a y - L a n d T h e G a m e ™ (a parody) is not affiliated with or sponsored by eBay or PayPal. It is the sole creation of Tabberone with a little help from her friends. PayPal and IT are registered trademarks wholly owned by eBay, who, after acquiring MicroSoft, Boeing, Time-Warner, AOL, AT&T, the NFL, Disney, CBS, and GOOGLE, will seek world domination.
