It's time to figure it out and be steadfast in that determination. This isn't the first time ebay's had a revolt on their hands. When they tried to pull the Reserve thing on us, everyone went ballistic! They listened.
At this point I don't even think it's a matter of stockholders. It is a matter of advertisers. The stockholders have nothing in the way of dividends (since ebay's capitol keeps going to other aquistions under other offerings ie Half.com etc) and the stock is in the toilet. Write ebay's advertisers and let them know that they are p***ssing their money away on a site that used to be great and also let them know you will not buy their products. It's a simple boycott, but the adverts need to know that we as suppliers to the site are really fed up with the blatant disregard and contempt ebay shows us. After all, the announce board today really showed us what they think. We have been on these chat boards for weeks screaming at the wrong people while those cowards were changing configurations and disabling functions and not owning up to the changes they made until today and that was only due to a CNET report. COMMUNITY my donkey!!
