Hi US/Italy

More that 13.000 (thousand) have come through our Forum, we have organized a blockade against eBay and a mass move of Buyers and Sellers to New Italian Web Sights or Better.

Fees have gone up on eBay Italy by 100%!!!!!!

As of 22 Aug 06 –

1 – Stop Purchasing On eBay
2 – Stop Placing New Items On Sale on eBay
3 - Vendors Will Reduce Their Subscription from Normal Store or Plus Store to just a standard account at zero fees.
4 – Power Sellers will unsubscribe from Power Seller Program and Reduce Store Subscription.
5 – On Line Voting to choose to witch Web Sight to move to is on the way. www.QXL.it is going well
6 – Mass Movement of Vendors and Buyers to alternate Web Sights – Some New Sights that started of with Zero have gotten to 74.000 items on sale in just 2 weeks.
7 – and other initiatives are on going.

PayPal is Out - Italian Postal Service Credit Card is In!!! Fast & Much, Much Cheaper than PayPal.

WE ARE ON THE MOVE……WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT ???????

Stardust and I copied and pasted the same thread.  She beat me to the submit button so I merged my post into her topic and edited out my original C&P. 

www.QXL.it is showing strong listings gains in Italy.  QXL sites are the market leaders in Poland and Switzerland where eBay runs a distant second.

We will be posting MP3 Format of interview on our web sight as soon as we get it from the Radio Station. Sorry It Is In Italian!!!!

Thanks To All out There for The Support, e-mails are coming in from the US.

We are openning a "US & Italy" page on our web sight and we are also going to try and translate some of the items to make it easyer for visitors from down town USA.
