You do not have to insert your postal addr., just the email address.

Not to rain on anyone's parade Bell and I'm happy to see so many
try to effect posative change.

I hope you all really can so please don't take this the wrong way.

But I gotta tell yea...
Most of us here I think, have already been down that road several times.

Signing petitions, boycotting, posting about it in the appropriate
threads at ebay, sending them e mails, picketing, (OK I never did that)
doing everything short of walking into ebay HQ and physically removing them. 
(Would love to do that)

ebay is not a government...
they will do what they want and have shown that time and time again.

There is only one thing any corp. giant understands.

Money.. or the lack of it.  :twistedevil:

PS:
Hell look at all the years I've been going after them.
All just a waste of my time and energy.
(Well not all.. I do get to
screw with thier  drinking trolls.. so that can be concidered entertainment). 

Bottom line is quit feeding the machine... and it will stop functioning.

Xp, you know i love ya, but would you please stop raining on our parade?!!!!

I know that everything you just said is true, IMO. But, everyone is not going to walk away from ebay and thus, we need an in-between measure.

Now, I nominate you to write up the US petition.

(Please)

I joined the Boycott in February 2005.  Signed the petitions, closed my store and everything.  I listed a few things later in the year, but eBay shut them down in error.  They apologized and all that good stuff, but constant errors like that are inexcusable.  That was the last straw for me.  I know eBay doesn't miss me...and it is mutual. 

I think everyone has to go through a boycott at least once in their "eBay" lives.

I traveled that road many times, reserve fee protests in '99, million auction march in '00, checkout protest in '01

Here IS feebay's STANCE.... Like IT or NOT...

Uh oh, the wacko nurse Lazer/Katy is going to start complaining about your VULGAR picture XPP.

If Xpp wasn't vulgar... he wouldn't be Xpp!  Snow White just doesn't suit him.

One more thing...

Bell,
Is your caps lock stuck?
