EBay Pokes Fun at Prime Day in Ad Mocking Amazon's Selection, 2018 Server Crash

EBay is continuing its digs at Prime Day with ads mocking Amazon’s membership fee, product selection and last year’s server crash. It repeatedly cited the crash in a June news release pushing its own sales event called the eBay Crash Sale (see 1906260054). “They mostly have deals on a bunch of random stuff nobody really wants,” a daughter is seen telling her father in one eBay ad, suggesting Amazon is trying to clear inventory from warehouses. EBay promised to unlock more deals if Amazon’s server crashes during Prime Day 2019.
