I couldn't find any posts about the boycott here but there are many joining in from Feb. 18th - 25th. I'm sure many of you are concerned about ebay's new fees and the changes with the feedback system.
Here's a few youtube links for those interested: Interview with ebay CEO John Donahoe: CNNMoney.com article: http://money.cnn.com/2008/02/06/smbu....fsb/index.htm Page 57 of the ebay Seller Central discussion forum: http://forums.ebay.com/db2/thread.js...290&start=2240 There are tons of videos on YouTube and articles across the internet. If you're a member here and sell on ebay you should be concerned. You will have all the reponsibility, the buyers will wield all the power and you won't even be able to leave negative feedback. There are a lot of great buyers out there but the floodgates will be opened for deadbeats. BTW, if I missed a previous thread about this, I do apologize.

This is why ebay has lost my business.
I am never going to sell on their site again.

This also makes it so you cant tell who the bad buyers are anymore becaue no one will be able to leave the appropriate feedback. I could deal witht he price increases but the feedback thing is enough for me to call it quits. Its just no worth the hassle and aggrevation anymore. And before anyone says buyers wont threaten negative feedback to get money back, its already happened to two different sellers I know.
Carnage I bought stuff from you before...do you have everything listed on your store site...and extra stuff...can I send you list???
