Quote:both buyers and sellers I do that everyday so I can definitely do it next week too. ;D Quote:eBay management in the UK and US has remained tight lipped about the effects of user protests and many critics believe they are risking long term damage to their business by appearing out of touch with their customers. If you ignore customer complaints eventually it will come back and bite you in the ass. |

I agree, but have to add that they (ebay) don't just ignore customer complaints----they RETALIATE, the aspholes!!! And, they don't care how many people they affect with their lack of concern. PS// For some reason, I am more angry at ebay now than I have been in weeks. It is such s frickin company! :nbiteme: ebay!!!!!! |

Re: UK's CORE calls for 4-day boycott of eBay, mass reporting of 'scam' listings
Quote:I dont think eBay will back down, says a spokesperson for the Campaign Of Rebuffed eBayers (CORE), a UK-based group which is promoting the strike. They are a monopoly, and they know it. Ebay won't back down.Management is too egotistical to try and effect a compromise. It is apparently their way or the highway. : BUT, momentum is building against ebay in the financial press, and stockholders CAN and WILL take down and maybe (one can hope) Billy Boy Cobb too. |

Global eBay Sellers Unite to Stage 4-day Boycott of Crime Plagued Auction Site
Press coverage of the CORE boycott:
Quote:... a press release regarding the four-day strike called - 4 Day Clean Up Ebay campaign announced in UK. The gist: A four-day campaign starting from 21.00 GMT on Thursday 14th September until the same time Monday 18th September 2006. They ask sellers to put their stores on holidays during that time and to put their time to good use to report bad listings. Claiming the numbers of those signing the petition in the UK has more than doubled since their last strike day, they hope for a wide support. full article: http://sirius-satellite-radio-siri.blogg...ay-strike/ Quote:Today, 14th September 2006, marks the start of a four day protest action against eBay. Ive discussed the issues behind seller unrest on eBay in a previous AC article HERE . Quote:John sells collectables from his home in Cleveland in north east England and has been an eBay Store owner for over a year. I began by asking him what effect the eBay fee increases will have on him. He replied; Obviously I will have to pay more of my revenue to eBay now and, to counter this, I will have no choice but pass these costs, at least in part, on to buyers. Ultimately it is always buyers on eBay that will bear the cost of increased fees. full article: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article...issue.html |

Whether iy works or not, my Sore is on vacation, in support of this strike, just like the last one.
Maybe a small contribution, nonetheless, it's on Vacation.
