eBay: Expecting Downside as Piper Eliminates 'Top Pick' Status

All I have to say is, "Well, DUH, what did they think would happen when they insulted their own customers?"

I'm only a casual seller, of the "flea market" variety they are trying to push off the site, but I WAS an avid buyer on eBay, thousands of dollars a year including everything from used books to new computers.

I am boycotting. When I needed toner for my printer, instead of searching on eBay, I found what I needed on ioffer and bought it there and paid with Google checkout instead of Paypal.

I've made several purchases on the "other" sites since JAnuary 29, and exactly TWO on eBay (and one was on an improperly listed charity auction I knew would get pulled, so the seller got paid by me and eBay should be refunding the final value and listing fees).

Yes, sellers are buyers, and sometimes buyers are sellers, so it doesn't make sense to insult and alienate ANY of the userbase.

Do they think we're stupid?

BOYCOTT VICTORIOUSLY . . . because they STILL don't get IT.
