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

As a buyer, I can't stand to see what ebays done to it's site and it's users. I can't find the unique items I've purchased for years. Ebay hides them in Best Matches. I have to sift my way through po-up ads and business advertisements interuptions during my searches. Ebay has hidden my competions' bidder IDs so I can't check their patterns of buying anymore and I can't see if there's shill bidding on an item. The excellent prices are gone from ebay. I'm guessing the fee increases have changed that, since the other sites still have great deals and are growing fast. Many of my favorite sellers have left ebay and I have followed them to their new sites to purchase the items I want. I also hate that ebay is only allowing me to use paypal, if I want to pay online. Soon, all buyers will get only positive feedback, negating my years of 100% feedback history.

I have read a lot of comments from ebay's boards in seller central and can see that sellers are just as angered as I am with these changes.

If I want to buy ordinary new stuff, I go to my local stores which helps my community. I am NOW a BOYCOTTER, too. Ebay can keep their remodeled ebay. It's nothing like the fun happy place I've enjoyed in the past.
