I was going to list some stuff but if I can strike against the studios, I can certainly strike against Ebay. I am amazed that such decisions are made which are so hostile and unnecessary. I mean, do you think there has been a great outcry from Buyers against unwarranted negative feedback from Sellers? Certainly not at the rate that legit Sellers have been complaining about abuse by Buyers who are backed by Ebay's passive approach to fairness. Which begs the question; would Ebay rather have bad Buyers who don't pay more than good Sellers who do? I mean, doesn't it figure that this is a chicken or egg question? Still, it's as if Ebay has lost faith in the entire concept of auctions. The bottom line, to borrow a line from FIELD OF DREAMS... If you sell it...they will Buy!

If ebay gets word of this seller strike, how much would you bet that they have a free listing day the week prior so they reel sellers in and grab the extra fees at the end of the sale..... I haven't been putting much on ebay lately anyways but I am in. Nothing will be listed by me that week.

Frank,
I had not heard of this strike but I think I am game. Hard though when consignors are looking over my shoulder. Cost increases of course impact them as well as its obvious I will have to raise brokering fee by at least 5%. Well Mopo listings here we come............

I received notice through one of my on-line Forums that there is to be a Seller strike against Ebay Feb.18 through Feb.25 to protest the new listing fees and commissions which go into effect on that first date. I also ready about this on CNN.com so I presume it is legitimate. I’ve decided to honor the strike but I’m curious how many other dealers on the MOPO board know about the strike and plan to honor it by not posting auction items during that period. Franc Martarella
