TAKING ON EBAY - Boycott Information for the INTERNET AUCTION ALLIANCE

After several weeks of some very creative suggestions, the folks over on Delphiforums.com/boycottebay have voted for the logo for their newly minted organization.

This organization, appropriately named the "Internet Auction Alliance" is a historical FIRST -- the FIRST time that Sellers and Buyers from all walks of life, both PowerSellers and small time "once and awhile" sellers from eBay have banded together as a cohesive and functional unit to do battle with eBay about the changes in policy which eBay begain rolling out on Feb 1, 2008 -- and has continued to roll out since then.

According to eBay executives, the once mighty online auction and fixed price format marketplace has rolled out only an eighth of their proposed changes which, thus far, have enraged the Sellers by cutting deeply into their profit margins and getting rid of the field of fair play for which eBay was once famous.  No longer are Sellers allowed to leave a scam artist 'buyer' negative (or even neutral) feedback on a rip-off buyer - indeed, eBay says that Sellers can leave ONLY positive feedback for a Buyer, no matter what the Buyer does!  This is beyond ridiculous, and has forced another historic first: the first time that a company has faced not ONE, but TWO customer boycotts in less than 3 months!

Needless to say, as a supporter of the eBay boycott who was suspended (along with my entire family) for publishing a "Seller's Guide to non-eBay Auction", I encourage YOU - eBayer or NOT -- to head on over to http://forums.delphiforums.com/boycottebay to join the war party intent on making eBay come to it's senses and roll back the new policies which have contaminated eBay with a series of rip-off artists, scammers, hackers, and other unscrupulous persons, for eBay is NO LONGER a SAFE place for anyone to trade, and the impacts of it's new policies have affected not only eBayers, but the employees of Powersellers, eBayer families, and the communities they live in.

Boycott eBay!  And Boycott Victoriously!
