I just love to see that going downnnnn! We may actually get lucky and Yahoo will jump on it once it goes to $21-22. God, I hope so! ;D

I've been watching it too.  A link to a blog article was next to the stock quote.  The article isn't good news for store sellers hoping to gain mass market support against the fee hike if the majority of buyers feel the way this blogger does about the fee hike:

It doesn't matter what eBay dishes out... people will just try to figure out a work around.  ;D

That's what I did.  My work around was to stop paying pigbay's $5,000 monthly fees and sell exclusively from my website.  We shipped 2,000 website orders last month so the work around has worked very well.

i hit that blog with post 11 at 11am this morning. as soon as i found it

It looks like both Australia and the UK are planning on August 15th..hint, hint that might be a good day for the US too.

We're on it, Bargain. Thanks for posting it!

Timberwolf, think I'll go hit that blog myself!

Hit it, post #16. What a bloody fool that guy is. :

Greetz, all!
I really don't think a one day boycott will accomplish much but....I am in in any event because I plan to simply close my Store before then, re-start a website.  Maybe an auction or 2 on greedbay, weekly, to attempt to drive traffic to my site.
In fact, I stumbled onto a special offer from Yahoo Stores, 25% off for 2 months.

Hey Sliique....
GLAD TO SEE YOU.  DON'T BE A STRANGER.  YOU ARE JUST WEIRD ENOUGH TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FIT RIGHT IN!!!!!!!   ;D ;D ;D

I think I broke all the posting "rules," didn't I?
