Doubt the sales were affected by the boycott.

Lack of sales, jobs and real cash flow likely did it. Read my lips! Layoffs!

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.

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).

I like my pseudo-news with a cup of pseudo-coffee. (A cookie is nice too)

It must not have been too successful, as I haven't heard about it until now.

Did buyers boycott my listings too?
