Police the site and make it a safe and secure environment for both buyer AND SELLER. Instead they did nothing. Post 6 backs that statement! Customer service is among the worst on the planet, and all the claims of stepping up efforts to protect sellers has fallen 100% SHORT! They posted hundreds of thousands of fake auctions in Feb to fool stockholders into believing that the strike was having no effect. Well they guessed wrong again. They got caught and the strikes, all the "noise" as well as tens of thousands of sellers leaving DID HAVE AN EFFECT! If a downward spiral is the direction they wanted feebay to go by placing Donahoe in the CEO position...well it worked! You have no one to blame Ebay for these bad things happening to you, but yourself! All they had to do was the job they are paid to do.

Amit? bad timing - I think you made a very VALID point that in this type of economy we need to encourage opportunity for the individual not bring in corporations to compete.

In a tightening economy, ebay should be the place that benefits by being the venue for great deals for people trying to cope with new economic realities. The last dip, ebay did in fact benefit. Sales went up. They just made a huge move away from precisely the niche that would have boosted growth and given them the edge. The timing couldn’t be worse to move away from the flea market.

The new CEO has taken amazing and horrific steps to alienate millions of sellers (WHO ARE BUYERS ALSO) which in turn, and is simple math, hurts the companies profits! Ebay...your site was centered around being a great marketplace for that unique item. You have now killed that idea and I am glad to see you are getting what you deserve for treating your customers, THE SELLERS, like this as well as NOT doing what you were paid to do, and that is to police your own site and make it safe for people to use!! To all stock holders...heed my warning...get out now!!! The NOISE just got louder!
