Hey eBay, how about we get everyone that has a market stall to tell punters to buy on eBay? Giftwrapping for Christmas is popular in Debenhams for lazy blokes that buy their lover some perfume and don't want the missus to see them wrapping it - how about all eBay sellers offer giftwrapping service so that punters won't be disappointed until their gift is opened on Christmas day and it's too late to return it? eBay USB Christmas tree lights were a hit last year, how about we stick up eBay Christmas trees in all the mainline rail stations?
