I cannot believe the propaganda that eBay is clearly paying a lot of money for on this site. They have screwed the buyer and screwed the seller more so. Management just dont get it. They don't understand the community that was originally created. The communtiy was the heart and soul of what made eBay what it WAS!
So long as the grab for fees continues and they continue to screw the people that were paying all the fees - the sellers the eBay share price, will continue to fall, sellers will continue to leave and they are taking what was a fantastic monopoly in most countries around the world and handing it to start ups and competitors. One new auction site in Australia was getting little traction - they had no buyers and sellers, they had little revenue and then eBay increases fees and then for an encore they are now breaching all the trade practice acts in Australia (and trying to gain immunity - the hide!) and now that action site is getting customers by the drove. I guess all the bright people who started eBay have left it to the less bright people to run it. Maybe I should ring my venture capitalist for some funds because eBay is handing their competitors revenue on a silver platter.
