VT Rampage Killer - PR Black Eye for eBay?
Last week, the tragic Virginia Tech killing was linked to eBay in reports like this one:
Tech Shooter May Have Used eBay Account
Not that eBay is to held responsible for this tragedy, but it does tend to shine a bad light on eBay at a time when they really need some good “PR” press. They really don’t need links to unfortunate events like this.
Today, eBay came out with a statement acknowledging that Cho Seung-Hui did have an eBay account, but used it to purchase empty ammo clips and a gun holster - things that are unregulated.
