Have you guys forgotten already the famous "Power Seller Boycott" a few years ago? They were protesting the high fee prices and policies and organized a sizable Boycott by the Power Sellers which all began on one chosen date and continued "until eBay changed". As I recall, it made a measurable dent into eBay's income, but then when the boycott didn't seem to be working very well, it was simply abandoned and eBay went on business as usual. The big shots laughed when interviewed by the press and derided the boycott as "noise" by trouble seeking sellers and ignored it all completely. As I recall,about the time the boycott was actually starting to make a small but noticeable dent in eBays numbers of listings, eBay just announced a free listing day and the numbers jumped up higher than they had been before....The days of ol' Pierre Omidyar running the Auction Company out of his living room in San Jose are long behind us. They are, at this point, literally too big to be bothered and cannot be annoyed enough by their customers to implement any favorable changes. They, literally, don't Care...
