Holiday season boycott of eBay and PayPal Wrote:Operation "eBay Blackout" - 2008 Holiday Season!
This is the time we can really hurt ebay and take the wind out of the their sail. striking this holiday season will cost them more then they wanted to bargain for.
Starting October 1st, and Ending it on Jan 1, lets do it again! I know it will be difficult to do so, being it is the most craziest time of the year for sales...

Yeah, go ahead, destroy your business by boycotting the holiday season! Feed your kids cold canned dog food in a van down by the river on Christmas Day! That'll really show Ebay! :

I feel the need to post my guide to "why boycotts don't work" again. :

SNEAKY's GUIDE TO EBAY BOYCOTTS, POLICY CHANGES, and LEVEL PLAYING FIELDS
Case Study 1: Failed boycott
1000 hobby sellers boycott -total annual GMV $10 million
1 large seller doesn't participate in boycott -annual GMV $25 million
Case Study 2: Seller protest fails to make eBay change policy
1000 protesting hobby sellers in favor of policy change -total annual GMV $10 million
1 large seller against policy change -annual GMV $25 million
Level Playing Field Definition
Every seller receives 1 vote for each $1 of annual GMV contributed. (many mistakenly believe level playing field means 1 vote per seller.)

Quote:I am curious about the legality of a local juridiction (small town, city) passing a local sales tax, luxury tax, import tax, or whatever one wants to call it on all ebay sales. By adding say a local $100.00 per transaction fee one could effectively close down ebay sales locally. By ebay sales I mean those pasing through the juridiction.
Quote:This may then be a way to shut down ebay sales on a local level. Local towns and such can't outright ban adult book stores, for example, but they effectively get around this by putting into place restrictions as to where they can be located - so many feet from a school, etc...
Putting in a $100.00 per transaction tax on ebay transactions conducted within the local town would effectively shut down all sales. I no longer want ebay operating in my local community and I no longer want anyone operating a business via ebay either since their efforts have financially allowed ebay to destroy my ebay business, along with thousands of others.
