I must admit, I've been totally disappointed with eBay recently for obvious reasons to forum members here.
Personally, I'd love eBay to succeed as the idea and worldwide audience is tremendous....but sadly, like many modern organizations, the shareholders and directors put their pocket above that of the community, preferring instead to bleed dry their users for their own gain. I personally have worked in the US fairly closely to CEO's and have been so disappointed by their greed driven decision making.
On conclusion, I believe it is important to send a message to organizations like this, and therefore I whole-heartedly support the strike on 18th - 25th February
As soon as viable alternatives, like specialistacutions gain a little more momentum. I will be deleting my eBay account. Similarly I'd say the same for PayPal
btw, Are you aware you're paying 10 - 20% of your profit to eBay when you sell items valued less than 200 ?????
