eBay's Bill Me Later a Bad Idea

Your article is dead on except for one thing. Donahoe knows how he enrages the sellers BUT he is under the delusion that sellers are a dime a dozen and totally replaceable and he can afford to lose however many it takes in order for him to institute his grand plan! What Donahoe doesn't get is the fact he is reaching "critical mass" - the point where most sellers throw up their hands and say enough is enough and I'm out of here! Its happening more so every single day but like Nero, fiddling while Rome burns, Donahoe is oblivious. This man, single-handedly, will be Ebay's downfall. Is nobody in authority over him? Donahoe is driving away Ebay's precious small sellers and destroying the very heart of Ebay and he's simply allowed to run rampant! About the most any of us can do is wait....perhaps when the present management is finally and completely swept out then we can go back in and rebuild the company we loved so much. If that doesn't happen then Ebay is doomed!
