Fancy a job working for eBay? No, me neither but even if we did, we’d be out of luck: eBay appear to have forgotten to renew the domain name for their site advertising jobs in their Dublin offices.

Or perhaps it’s that eBay Jobs Ireland didn’t actually have any real jobs listed? A TameBay correspondent who applied for a CS job back in April received no contact whatsoever apart from this automated email:

Thank you, [his name], for expressing interest in our organization.
We have successfully received your submission to the following position(s):
Customer Support Representative DUMMY REQ 26165BR
Thank you.
*Please do not reply to this email.
emphasis mine

Faked advert that wasn’t offering a real position, or just part of the job description?
