Who will Join the Boycott of Ebay Feb 18-25, 2008?

Who else wil boycott Ebay during Feb 18-25, 2008 ??

I know that Ebay members from all over the world will be boycotting because of feedback and fee changes.

Will you be one of the many?

    With fees going up 67%, it is the buyer who will pay for that!

    The seller won't sell as much and will make way less. The buyer will pay way more. The ebay execs will walk away fat because their greed will have paid off. IT USED TO BE A DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM.

    Yes I'm boycotting ebay! They are completely out of control!

    so you got to ask yourself who's being greedier the big Auction house trying to make more money for its share holders or the few small businesses freaking out over a non substantial rate increase. I haven't bought anything on ebay for a long time but i think i might during the 18th through 25th.

    hell no! the fees keep deadbeat scammers off ebay i hate to say.

    why would i boycott a tool that allows me to keep money out of walmart's pocket? boycott them instead!

    Yes. I'm fine with the fee changes, but the feedback changes are stupid.

    Nah. If i have stuff to sell or buy i'll make up my mind then. It's their business, they can do what they like. Consumers always have a choice.
