Description

The Sound of eBay is an online audio generator that gathers user data from eBay (such as credit card information, passwords, prices, and ratings) and converts it into an mp3 track. A website visitor can enter their email address to receive a unique song presented as a telesext sex ad.

Within this global grid a company named eBay became the largest marketplace, with very local marketspaces. eBay is romantic and seductive, not like the local fleamarkets in Paris (Le marché aux puces de Saint-Ouen) but sexed up a million times bigger and spherically transcended, much more effective and thoroughly commercialized. We love it! "The Sound of eBay" is the affirmative high-end low-tech contribution to the atomic soundtrack of the new peer-to-peer hyper-catastrophic shock-capitalism.
