22,000 & growing.

Hopefully there will be a big sucking sound on Feb 18th when the rate hikes go into effect.

the only thing ebay will listen to is the shareholders..if they look bad in the next quarter...and they would if everyone boycotted and closed their ebay stores...people seriously need to vote with their money any more. it's the only thing that talks.

Thanks I actually won the game by hitting the "king' and "queen" with the Pez dispensers.

eBay is not a monopoly. Take your business elsewhere if you don't like the policies.

I think Starbuck's is too damned expensive, so I buy my coffee at 7-11. You know what? I'm happier.

And yet it's been so good to me for finding obscure records.

Oh well, back to gemm.com.

ebay is a business, it has to earn money. If you don't feel that you're getting value for your buck, just go somewhere else.

I see that the petition is gathering strength in numbers and posts.



Even if it's only a mental exercise for those of us signing it, it's still a small mental victory. I think it's good.

Time and energy better spent writing a real letter of complaint to eBay if you're unhappy with their rates and services.
