Episode Description

This is the frankly unbelievable story of how far eBay employees went in 2019 to deal with both a small company and a Twitter user being critical of their CEO and company. Harassment, intimidation, doxing, cockroaches and a dead pig... welcome to the eBay stalking scandal, featuring special guest Kirsty Webeck!


This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 10:14 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).

Do Go On acknowledges the traditional owners of the land we record on, the Wurundjeri people, in the Kulin nation. We pay our respects to elders, past and present.
