TAKING ON EBAY - Boycott Information for the INTERNET AUCTION ALLIANCE

I belive that ebay is hurting and it will only get worse.  Here is why:

Computers and video games are two categories with automatic paypal holds on money starting yesterday.

I typed "computer" into the ebay search engine and the best match brought up records, men's clothing and women's accessories as well as computers.  ???????  What a joke.

But, that is not the most interesting thing.  There were only about 1500 entries under computers and that includes parts, accessories, EVERYTHING.  There used to be hundreds of thousands of items in this category.  The sellers are like me, they are too afraid to sell on ebay anymore since it isn't safe. 

A new computer costs a lot to ship since they are relatively heavy and they have to pay for it themselves and then wait to see if they get their money.  There is no assurance that they will get their item back before the buyer gets their money back (and that is just hoping that some scamming buyer even would send back the same thing they got from the seller).  They have pretty much disappeared as sellers.

  i swear to god i think ebay is out to screw the sellers over more and more.  u gotta leave nothing but positive feedback for buyers; can't leave no negative feedback.  you gotta suck up the 75% jump in final value fees and ebay wont let you pass that on to the buyer, not even a part of it to make things fair.  and here lately ebay has been telling folks they need to ship for free and can't charge anything for the time and labor for shipping plus do all the work.  and now this crap.  its past being able to beleive how fuk'ed up ebay has gotten!  its friggin insane and the stupid american public just sits on their collective asses doing nothing with their thumbs up their butts stuffing their fat lazy faces and letting these companies and countries just roll over them.  its no wonder america is failing and is so full of shit.  its not only ebay that deserves to have its ass kicked -- its america that needs its stupid, fat, lazy, do-nothing ass kicked too.  and i'd be wiling to bet my ass that americans will get this ass kicked real soon by the chinese and if not their military, then their economy cuz they ain't stupid and saw how we whooped the world using our economy and now china has taken the lesson to heart and is going to do it to us but hey, we're a bunch of stupid americans -- reallyl -- and we're going to let them do it.
  stupid people.  stupid ebay.  stupid every friggin thing.
