eBay is Listening

Red Baron- you are right... except the feedback issue is only one of many issues.. and there's no turning back ! Now that ebay is stuck in the mud... up to their neck in lawsuits and whatnots... NOW... they're gonna "LISTEN"...?... I'm was also an old timer .. on ebay... and worked hard to build my business... but everytime we turned around- a new "policy" was being brought in... NO THANKS... I'M DONE WITH EBAY... I'M NO LONGER BOYCOTTING EBAY... I'VE TOTALLY ABANDONED EBAY.. EVEN AS A BUYER .
too little ... too late... too much damage done...
Ebay has betrayed the those that fed them... with so much betrayal- internationally- "those who fed them" are gone for good. Ebay has taught us another valuable lesson... never to put all our eggs into one basket...

Their changes has forced so many to move right along.. no turning back.... Promises Promises...--- turn out to be nothing but lies...

History will repeat itself again.. on ebay... but too many have been 'burnt' to dare go back for a second helping...

Adios ebay.. onto better things... Ola onlineauction.com (OLA.com)

Ebay should have never "fixed" anything... nothing was broken. Ebay has lost the loyalty and trust of a great deal of their sellers - whom have gone elsewhere. I being an ex ebayer- seller and buyer- am speaking on behalf of so many whom ebay has tossed aside. No matter how many changes are promised- they are not to be trusted. Proof of this was the attendance at 'Ebay live 2008'.

Their is another site out there.. that will take the place of what was once the Ebay everyone knew.
OLA.com is next up and coming site for collectibles, treasures and findings... antiques.. both for sellers and buyers..

Ebay- fool me once- shame on me--- Fool me twice- I DON'T THINK SO....
Ola.com is the kind of place that ebay once was..and so many ebay refugees have moved over to OLA.com.. and are building it as it write this....
Later Ebay- YOU ARE NOT THE WAY....

hello -- OLA ! OLA.com is THE ONE !

eBay Management and Sellers Need Relationship Advice

Thanks Randy-for saying what had to be said-and portraying it as delicately as possible.
Everything you have said is absolutely true-unfortunatley it falls upon deaf ears at Ebay headquarters.
Unfortunately all the threats of boycotting are starting to appear useless. I have not yet heard a single individual or group volunteer/offer to step forward and resolve this matter on behalf OF ALL THE SELLERS ON EBAY-by sitting down with the corporate heads or those so appointed.
Instead of The "blogger" Ebay plans to hire -why not get an arbitrator or mediator -unbiased for both Ebay sellers (ALL) and Ebay Inc. There has to be a meeting of the minds.
I have searched for other venues to sell my little trinkets and such-and find myself in such unfamiliar territory-that i lose alittle more hope each day. It's extremely depressing-and i know i speak on behalf of many ebay sellers. We are intimidated to sell for fear of retailiation by boycotters-and Ebay has 'rasied the bar' so high- it's unreachable and unrealistic.
There must be a compromise that works for all.

Wall Street Breakfast - Sample Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News by SA Editor Rachael Granby Bank trio becomes duo. Wells Fargo (WFC) will become the largest U.S. bank by branches with its bid for Wachovia (WB), after Citigroup (C) withdrew from compromise negotiations late yesterday on concerns about the quality of some of Wachovia's assets. Wells Fargo, with a bid valued at $11.4B, expects the purchase to be completed by the end of the year, and denies it will have to absorb assets shakier than originally thought. Government considers next steps. As the financial crisis continues to worsen, the U.S. government is considering two dramatic steps to turn around, or at least slow, the damage: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits. The moves, which would mark the government's most extensive intervention to date, are in discussion stages only. Credit stays frozen. As frozen credit markets refuse to thaw, the cost of default protection on corporate bonds reaches new global records amid investor concerns the credit crisis will trigger corporate failures as companies struggle to finance their businesses. Interbank lending remains limited, and borrowing from the Fed's expanded discount window continued its trend of setting new highs every week, as the total daily average rose to $420.2B vs. $367.8B last week.

Better Choices - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/15/08)

by SA Editor Rachael Granby

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramers Mad Money TV program,
Wednesday, October 15.

Bullish Calls:

Continental Resources (CLR) -- "This is a remarkable decline. All of the high quality ones are down so much, I can't go against it. This is where you pull the trigger.
3M (MMM) -- The moment this stock starts yielding 5%, I'm a buyer. Until then, keep your powder dry.

Bearish Calls:

Computer Sciences (CSC) -- This is a company that was going to be bought, but they passed up the chance. Now I don't want to buy it."
Annaly Mortgage (NLY) -- I think this is a business model that needs to borrow money. Definitively do not buy."
Northrop Grumman (NOC) -- You can't own the defense stocks right now. If I had to own one, I'd look at Lockheed Martin (LMT) with its good dividend.
