    That being said, above, if ebay manages to go into recovery by giving up the bad parasitic advice they've been getting, then there might be a possiblity they can recover some of their status, but they will need to scale down considerably, and go back to their roots where they actually knew what to do, and that was, in the past, listen to the sellers, then...get rid of the ad word junk all over their site.There was nothing wrong with the up front fees being raise a few cents. They would not have lost customers over that. The high percentage of sales price? They will lose sellers for THAT! I refuse to list under those circumstances. I'm sure the big retailers that they now have on the site would NEVER get charged that kind of percentage of the sales..

    Why is all of this a surprise to the world?Ebay became what it "was" thanks to the online auctions it was the very first to succeed at. That is the one thing they abandoned, because the advertising parasites became a part of their entire genetic code. The sellers of these advertising services have been the modern day "Lucifer"to Ebay's execs. and caused the collapse of this company, with all of it's attending dunces who "bought into" all of the insanity that was sold to them. One of them writes articles here. Why that is, I guess we'll never know...but it matters not! Another company will take over where ebay left off, they are slowly gathering steam, and WILL BE providing the venue that was abandoned by ebay with slow and steady growth to their site at 5% a day. It is a privately owned company, otherwise I would stake a few grand on it at this time and date. Ebay stock?? No, not as long as Mr Wingo is part of the company's dealings.Poor choice, that's all I can say.

    Ebay should have "partnered" with a company like paltalk, a privately owned company who has the best of the worlds' communities viewing and being able to communicate in a "live" fashion. Ebay never had to purchase anything but paypal and even that is getting messed up by the poor ebay decison making skills of the CEO's who now operate at the helm.

    Whoever decided to hire them needs to fire them.Whoever they do business with now, needs to be halted until further actions are taken to rid the top execs from the site, and then let the poor place be for a while so it can settle from all the turmoil and painful mistakes it has made.

    I would not buy this stock now. The quarterlies are due in a few weeks and that will be even worse news, as well as added lies from the top execs there who mask the truth with paypal's successes. The new company who will steal all of the antiques and collectibles business from ebay will be ready to pick up all the lost sellers that ebay tossed off for having the "4's" that ebay states are "acceptable" to the buyer when pushing the buyer to click that number, but "NOT acceptable" to the seller when allowing them to remain on the site. They still need to re-define what a "4" is to both sellers and buyers, because there is misinformation there that has never been addressed. We're talking "simple" here, people, this is not rocket science!A number cannot have 2 definitions and be used as a grade for a fee paying seller.(thank goodness I stopped listing there too! I left my ratings all high!LOL!)
