Re: STORE OWNERS BOYCOTT EBAY IN PROTEST
Thx. If you like, you can correct those UK publishers quoting ebay team with this:
I am one USA store owner that is NOT selling ANYTHING, in honor of the boycott/strike for a whole WEEK. NOT one day.

Matters not to me, I ain't selling nothing for that week, come hell or high water.

Re: STORE OWNERS BOYCOTT EBAY IN PROTEST
I don't have a store and haven't had one since Feb of 2005, but in support of the strike I have not listed or bought anything on eBay since last Tues, Aug 8th.
I haven't yet decided when I will list again. |

Ditto. Sell-thru rate for the art category right now goes from 10% to 23% for auctions. Really stinks. |

Re: STORE OWNERS BOYCOTT EBAY IN PROTEST
Sell-thru rate for many categories right now goes from 10% to 23% for auctions
and has been this way for quit some time no matter what medved charts claim. I think it really stinks all over ebay and the peeps who come out on the forums to talk about it are just the tip on the iceberg. Sell-thru rate in my category has been 10% to 25% or so for auctions for quit some time. Each time I've checked a competitor (over the last 18 months maybe three times) who is pumping out auctions like there is no tomorrow. I find them upside down and selling maybe about 1/4 of what they are listing.
