Actually, I believe that statement.  These fee increases are meant entirely to weed out a certain number of *undesirable* sellers who only sell cheap junk, all the while maintaining the same income with higher fees.  Ebay would prefer to keep those who currently are not *going under*  .... whatever all that actually means, considering that's all ebay's expensive ads say -- "Buy it here cheap!!"

ebay China is being subsidized by ALL sites -- USA, UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, Australia, --- every other country ebay is in is currently and in the past been subsidizing the China fiasco.  This current X the board stores fee hike actually IS designed to weed out the *weak*.  Of course, the remaining sellers will certainly still be supporting  the Chinese -- who are ruining the world's marketplace with their billions and billions and billions of copied fake *antique* goods......

Plz don't get me started on the fraudulent, scamming *original antique European School paintings* listed and Featured from Denmark, Italy, France, UK -- but actually coming out of China...  >

I only got as far as LifeBoats asking what kind of items she should sell that Bill Cobb would approve of.  (Her words were better.) I was laughing so hard, I didn't get any further.

AFTER the Barf Bag was over, some poor Pink advised checking out the Workshops for answers. 

eBay posted a summary of the barf bag on Friday:

EDIT: posted a summary and unstickied the BBL itself to hide it.

I found the summary quite interesting reading. Actually, some of it appeared to be from some entirely different barf bag lunch. 

Creative editing, maybe?

HEy, don't denigrate the ethics of the Pinks. They are just doing their jobs. :

The actual BBL has gone *poof* -- "discussion not found".  I hadn't gotten a chance yet to read it. They must've been caught in a bunch of lies or sumthin to have made it disappear.  >



Edit: Thanks for the link below, Regic.  I had tried this one here, the one given in the first thread...

A summary.  Pffft.  I guess I should go read it to see eBay's spin on it all.  Later maybe.
