And a lot of people think they will worry about that when it happens. But what would that cost you in not just lost earnings for the time period but also for any storage you have to pay for, or even for some the loss of a supply chain, as we have quickly found with ebay that to say no to a supplier even once can have you loosing that supplier to someone that is happy and willing to jump in your place. I have just got back a supplier for that very reason, as the person that was offering him more money has just been kicked from ebay, they will probably get back on ebay in a week or two but he does not need the messing around
I hope you courage pays off and people are wrong, but only time will tell.
Anyone who has boycotted Ebay for a day for the reasons you stated above is more stupid than I first thought! If you rely solely on Ebay for selling goods you should be working within the changes and realise they aren't going to be reversed. Working within limited suppliers and limited sales route is not a good business model.
You have to make Ebay fit your business, not the other way round. To put all your eggs in one basket and then throw away the basket is completely loopy, that way you'll definitely smash the eggs:rolleyes:.0 -

There are a lot of stupid people out there doing just that.
And we agree again but as I said before I think this has gone way beyond a boycott when the basket in question is full of holes.0
