Even they’re stocks are loosing faith. This article from Forbes re-caps what’s going on behind the scenes. (Do Not) Buy It Now: eBay To Get Even Cheaper

What can I say? eBay doesn’t care about the small sellers that made them the company they are. Expect more changes to come. This article from Wired sums it up. Ebay Sellers Riled Up About New Fees, Rules

On August 15, 2006, there will be a mass boycott against eBay’s recent fee hikes. eBay store owners are urged to close their doors on this day and completely shutdown their store. Obviously, if only a few people do this, it won’t make a big impact on eBay. The purpose is to show feeBay that we are the ones who pay their bills, and when greed clouds their vision and they make poor decisions like raising fees by 500%, there are consequences. If we can get 100+ store owners to shut their store down on August 15 at about the same time, we can give feeBay a good kick in the pants. I will be closing my store. Will you join me? If so, welcome to the revolution! If not, I wish you all the best of luck dealing with eBay.

My store…is shutting down
My face…just wears a frown
‘Cause whatever I say
It won’t stop eBay

My yard…is filled with this crap
From toys…to clothes from the GAP
Won’t sell it tomorrow or today
Thanks all to eBay

Gonna go to Amazon or 7Bids
Gonna go to Yahoo or uBid
Because I, I can’t sell anymore, no way
The fees are too high for me on eBay

I sell from the same state as another
oh great, “IT” found out…and they
blocked my account.

Tell me what I did to deserve all this pain
Tell me why PayPal locked up my account again
No I don’t have money to just throw away
Thanks a lot to eBay

So lets all ban eBay
