      eBay Bares Its Ugly New Face
      Finally, someone has the GUTS to publish the true story of what has been going on for weeks in the ebay community! Praise God! It is my hope that ALL of the media will stop bowing to the great ebay God and start telling both the public and ebay stockholders the truth.

      YES, ebay no longer wishes to retain the "mom and pop" sellers that built the site into the amazing success story it has heretofore, been. Seeking to become an Amazon clone, ebay has chosen to court the large retailers and high volume sellers in an effort to turn ebay into a Storefront site. Recent proof of this would be the deal ebay struck with General Motors in which 3,900 GM dealerships across the country will now be able to list their entire inventories of GM used vehicles on ebay, FREE OF CHARGE. The recent increase in final auction value fees assessed to ebay's "flea market" sellers will no doubt cover any lost revenues ebay might incurr from the GM "deal." Much like the cheating husband who treats his wife badly while courting her replacement, ebay has chosen to abandon and abuse the seller base that made ebay a household name in favor of a new storefront venue of high volume sellers and big retailers.

      For the past three weeks, sellers have been flocking to POWERSELLERSUNITE.COM which provides a safe place for sellers to meet to discuss the situation, and which also provides a list of alternative auction/listing sites where sellers can list their items free of charge and with either no commission or minimal commission fees on sales. In the week following the announcement of ebay's fee and policy changes, the number of listings at these alternate sites soared to well over 7 million listings. eBay sellers have defected in staggering numbers and most have no intention of returning to ebay, even in the event ebay rescinds some of it's proposed changes. Sellers now know they have alternative venues for selling their wares and all that is needed is for the public to know WHERE the sellers have moved.

      For all sellers who have not yet found POWERSELLERSUNITE.COM, you are invited to join us as we unite to form a new selling community, one in which BOTH the buyer and the seller are valued and respected. For the public, you are invited to look at the following auction venues where you will very LIKELY find your favorite sellers and your much sought after "flea market" items; collectibles, antiques, vintage clothing, and other favorite finds. (To validate this point, the number of current listings at each site is also provided.)

      I look foward to seeing all former ebay sellers AND buyers at the following sites:
