I want Ebay to stop welcoming Australian buyers with G'day

G'day is a stereotype that an advertiser may use to market Australia/Australiana to other countries...it is not something that Australians do - it is something non Australian think we do! .....no-one I know says it.

I find it demeaning and offensive.  What is wrong with HELLO???

This is pretty much the text-book definition of a "first-world problem"...

 

Seriously - dodgy Chinese sellers, scammers, fee overcharging, increasingly seller-unfriendly changes, and someone's genuinely complaining about the greeting they see when they login.

 

And what's wrong with just using one punctuation mark instead of three? I find that particular bit of bogan sub-literacy vastly more offensive than "G'day"...
