At first I wondered why eBay was not banning hoverboards. Then I realized they're made in China.

Of course eBay won't ban the boards until required to by the Feds.

"Swagway"? Seriously? Wonder what Segway had to say about that.

I saw a guy trying to ride one of those hoverboards - it looked ridiculous and had NO curb hopping ability or lateral slide, no real maneuverability. I felt like telling him to get off his lazy arse and get a real skateboard.

And yeah, eBay will hang on to allowing those cheap chinese-made burners to the bitter end - remember, they're **~just a venue~**

USPS says only allowed shipping is Parcel (ground). Sure hope eBay communicated that to sellers, since it's still allowing the item to be sold on the site.
