How much does it cost eBay to host your listing? 1/20th of a penny?
One Penny? Ebay is charging sellers 100 to 1,000 times that for listing and final
value fees and sellers have bought into this nonsense like mindless sheep.

A one week boycott would have eBay bending over backwards to bring
sellers back. A mass exodus would put an end to this insanity. The internet was never
meant to be dominated by big corporations.

Have some self respect. Bite the bullet for a week or two. You have the
power to shape the future of online sales for independent sellers. Or you can
laydown and do nothing and let eBay continue to exploit you.

BOYCOTT 18th to ???....until ebay gets the message. Sellers put up
99% of the work to produce the items listed on eBay. Sellers pay eBay
to host their auctions. Not to be exploited.

Ebay is a WEB HOSTING SERVICE. The typical web host offers 500meg-1GB
storage with 25GB-50GB bandwidth for $7.95/month. If the typical web
host charged eBay's rates we would be paying $8,000.00/month for the
same storage and bandwidth. Ebay is an overpriced WEB HOST. Nothing more.

Spread the word. Post to every newsgroup and forum you can find.
BOYCOTT EBAY.
