I'll probly boycott ebay for 2 reasons:
1) I've been spending WAY to much there. ...& besides, I have enuf basses!!!!!!
&
2) It IS a monopoly. Why doesn't someone else do something similar?

Maybe the boycott will do some kind of good. ...at least give me a breather. heh

The Outpost Cafe / Boycott eBay?
« on: February 11, 2008, 10:56:32 PM »
Just heard about this boycott of ebay. Not sure if I'm in or not.
Maybe some of you guys can help me figure out what to do.

The following was posted on one of my other fav sites:


http://forums.ebay.com/db2/thread.jspa?threadID=1000636290&start=0
 
The eBay boycott is set for next week, February 18-25.  Organizers are
asking people not to buy, sell or list on eBay for that week long
period.  Here are some of the reasons people are doing this:


*Final value fees are going up by 66%
*Listing fees up 20%-50%
*Sellers cannot leave negative feedback for dishonest buyers
*Reserve price is increasing by 100%, up from $1.00 to $2.00
*PayPal reserving the right to hold onto seller's money for up to 21
days w/o interest
*eBay customer service has always been poor, and now stands to get
worst

But the main reason I will be supporting the boycott is their
attitude.  They are trying to pass all this off as a decrease in
fees.  They are trying to make people believe that they are making
eBay a better place for buyers.  But the truth is that they are
implementing these changes to make tons more money.  They obviously
think we are stupid.  The new CEO of eBay said he was not worried
about the boycott, and that all the people complaining about it were
just "noise".
This is truly a grassroots effort, organized to show big business
monopolies that we are not just sheep who will stand idly by and
accept whatever is fed to us.  I for one am tired of companies like
Comcast, Microsoft, PayPal and eBay doing what ever they want because
they feel they are the only game in town.  Hopefully, this boycott
will be successful so the next time any large monopoly decides to try
such tactics, they will be reminded of the eBay boycott of 2008.
 
also, keep in mind that you also have the opportunity to profit from
eBay's success.  eBay is listed on NASDAQ and currently is sitting at
$28.17 per share.  Rather than complaining about fees or trying to
hurt the company, why not partner with them and profit from their
success.  That's one of the great aspects of capitalism, you can share
in the greed.  eBay's on a downward trend right now, and has been
since October.  If the new CEO turns the company around and gets eBay
back up into the 40's, you could stand to turn a nice profit.

Hmmmm....This is the first I've heard about it. I didn't get anything from ebay about them raising or decreasing prices. Have you?
