I think on July 15 we all should do no business on eBay.
We will post no auctions, bid on no items. Why? This is to make eBay realize they cannot keep alienating us - the individual sellers who make up most of their business, who made their business.

I already boycott ebay several months out of the year. It's an annual tradition for me. But most people don't feel very passionate about whatever ails at ebay, and anyone that does probably already sells at least partially on other sites.
Instead of boycott ebay day, try a positive slogan such as buy on Yahoo day.

Dman3, I actually had changed the slogan to "No Biz, No Bids, No Bull" in my post, i.e. don't post auctions, don't have auctions end on that day and don't bid.
It's a seller initiative. July 15 is just an arbitrary day. Encouraging sellers or buyers to use, Yahoo, for example isn't going to send a message to eBay.
It is something that we should all do. It is something the press would pick up on as well.
