      Worst Company in America

      Round 14: eBay/Paypal vs COX

      By Ben Popken, 7:20 PM on Mon Mar 31 2008, 3,606 views

      This is Round 14 in our Worst Company in America contest, eBay/Paypal vs COX cable.

      eBay has become a hothive of international scams. Coupled with its faceless transaction processor Paypal, a number of our readers report having disputes unfairly judged against them, victims of scammers who know how to manipulate eBay/Paypal's myriad policies.

      We don't receive many complaints about Cox but some of the people who nominated them took issue with paying $30 just to get 12 local channels, and another complained about his in-state long distance rate being doubled without explanation.

      This is a post in our Worst Company In America 2008 series. The companies nominated for this honor were chosen by you, the readers. Keep track of all the goings on at consumerist.com/tag/worst-company-in-america/
