How Does the Boycott Impact eBay?

I have to agree with the comments about corporate greed and eBay. I was both a buyer and seller for some time, and eBay went from being one of the best companies on the Net to one of the worst in terms of every criterion imaginable - privacy, customer service and responsiveness, ease of use, total lack of any real policing of their sellers and buyers (even after they were informed multiple times of violators), etc. They went to being corporate greed-heads (like some of the posters here).

I always vote with my wallet. After numerous attempts to get them to re-think their strategy, and getting no response or a contemptuous rebuff, I left. I told them why I was leaving, and why I would never be back. Since then, I have talked to everyone I know and told them not to use eBay. Quite a few more apparently are now doing the same.

I wasn't motivated by greed- I was motivated by a lack of customer service and responsiveness. I was quite pleased to see that their own lack of corporate responsibility to their CLIENTS (i.e.; the ones who keep them in business, for you tunnel-vision "bottom-liners" posting here) is now starting at long last to take its toll.

If eBay goes the way of the dodo or dinosaur, good riddance to bad rubbish - I won't miss them a millisecond.
