    Ebay needs to wake up and realise that treating their customers with contempt is destroying their own business...
    Latest global figures show 20% revenue increase. I know you're the Ebay soothsayer and predicting their demise for the last ten years but a revenue increase seems to be the opposite of 'destroying'.

    42% of ebays sellers are classed as "top rated sellers", so thus the bulk of ebay's sellers are small sellers, small sellers who pay more in fees that the top rated ones who get a hefty discount.

    HTH.

    Your previous post stated the "bulk of Ebay's revenue comes from small sellers". You've 'proved' one point by raising a completely different unsubstantiated one, impressive:T
