Pocono	posted on April 2, 2001 12:39:49 PM what boycott? oh yea, it must have been the buyers, cause sales SUCKED this weekend!
Empires	posted on April 2, 2001 12:46:42 PM Doubt the sales were affected by the boycott. Lack of sales, jobs and real cash flow likely did it. Read my lips! Layoffs!
Pocono	posted on April 2, 2001 12:49:36 PM say again...what boycott?
genxmike	posted on April 2, 2001 12:51:24 PM Every Sunday there is a substantial drop in listings on EBAY. The drop on April Fools is not out of the norm. There was no boycott and this article is complete nonsense. [ edited by genxmike on Apr 2, 2001 12:55 PM ]
shaani	posted on April 2, 2001 01:06:28 PM Boycott? I was just lazy. I didn't list or buy.
mrlatenite	posted on April 2, 2001 01:13:09 PM ARRGGHH Would you PLEASE stop promoting your own web site and so-called "news"? As others have reported.. Listings always drop on Sundays, and the DTMagazine report shows the normal drop on Sunday as well.. Definitely no 5% like you claim: Sunday, April 1 @ 13:45 EST - 16:45 PST 5360634# -138038 (That's 2.5%.. the "norm" for a sunday from what has been posted before).
srfnfshn	posted on April 2, 2001 01:17:35 PM I like my pseudo-news with a cup of pseudo-coffee. (A cookie is nice too)
computerboy	posted on April 2, 2001 01:38:23 PM It must not have been too successful, as I haven't heard about it until now. Did buyers boycott my listings too?
