go fish- I don't hate ebay, I hate what it has become and who is ruining it-the idea was magnificent and the execution of such a noble experiment makes its downfall all the more tragic. Talking shit about a misguided moron like JD accomplishes nothing since he is so focused on his "vision" he HAS to regard the legitimate concerns of small sellers as *NOISE*. He is an elitist MBA and unless you have credentials that are better'n' his, you are beneath notice.
The only effective criticism he would understand is for everyone unhappy with policies to leave and close the accounts-he would find out really quickly that real revenues are based solely on the base of smaller sellers; the big boys will not stick around if they are stuck with the fees that were no longer being gathered in. The overweaning concern for the top 5-10% of the biggest sellers whilst ignoring the rest of the seller base is evidence of fiscal and fiduciary blindness...
Ever since I stopped jumping through ebays hoops, I have become happier and healthier and just a trace comfortably numb!
