There's been so much negative campaigning over the past year or two against eBay, it's really getting old. So many individuals have made so much money on eBay, but when eBay gets a little carried away with rules and changes everyone wants to run away and join up with the first carnival that comes to town.

Anyone know how the carnival life really is? May look all glittery up front, but behind the scenes, it isn't so glamourous.

Isn't it about time current eBay sellers banned together to prove to the buying world that things are still pretty good and there is good reason to go there in search of great collectibles and general goods? Remember all of the negative comments posted all over the web about Microsoft? Well, when was the last time you went to your local computer store and purchased a copy of Linux operating system?

Any thoughts on this from currrent eBay sellers?

Sounds like a deal.

5-7% of a sold item is more than reasonable.

Ah the voice of reason.
