There is a lot of stuff going on with ebay right now since they’re planning on making some changes…

Check this forum (from ebay): Link

If that is taken off, you can go to ebay’s Front Porch and you’ll find all kinds of talk about boycotting ebay from February 18, to February 25, 2008.  (Buyers and seller are going on STRIKE). Or check this link too.

There are a lot of scams inside ebay and I have had problems with about 10% to 15% of all transactions, mostly when I was selling stuff. I did buy some junk too but that was not to expensive so I left it alone… I have had great experiences too so don’t get me wrong… So I only use ebay to get some items or to get rid of some of the stuff I don’t need.

Would you be boycotting? ebay is truly a money making machine… their fees are way too high for what they offer. It might be time to look at other auction sites… (ubid, overstock, ioffer, onlineauction, blujay, ecrater, etc…) or even looking at some stores with ecommerce…

One of the changes is that seller cannot leave negative feedback to buyers… what if the buyer never paid? (it has happened to me a few times actually…) So maybe it’s time to buy from stores and from other auction sites..

Good Luck!
