okay, ebay is ugly, but it is not the ugliest site on the planet. and the site effectively pegs its target market - joe q. public. and mr. public does not give jack shit about 45 degree angles and drop shadows (no offense). each market has its own niche, and ebay is common folk. ebay is an equalizer, meaning you can sell last years gucci bag to a woman surfing in her underthings in kansas and her husband can sell you some addition to your Homies collection while sipping on overpriced coffee in a cafe. ebay is a service, not an elite club. i'm surprised it has any design; it could have blue hyperlinks on pale yellow backgrounds in 14 pt courier and it would still be around kicking ass. are there prettier austion sites? i'm sure. some website already had a "let's redesign ebay" competition; it was pink and pixelly, and it would have been sexy, but would have destroyed the empire that is the Ebay. rosie o'donnell would be rolling in the streets somewhere, and as hilarous as that would be, she has other things she can get in a tizzy about. not design. she can leave that for PV-AN.
but closer to the guys original q: no one know who does the PRINT ads for ebay? or for that matter those musical numbers on tv.
