A Message to EBAY Corporate Offices

It used to be fun. I would buy so many things from ebay auctions, I sold quite a lot for a few years too. Then the bean counters and corporate nutbags got ahold of the reigns. First the percentages went up, then buy it now with really ridiculous listing fees and a HUGE post sale percentage. A few months ago a "new and improved" fee structure for power sellers who could get up to 20% off of our ebay fees if we met certain criteria which we, of course, could not track because they were "anonymous". I thought that was great....except my rating freuently (roughly half of the time) drop to just below the minimum level 1-2 days before the "reward" would kick in. This showed me a couple of things: 1)ebay was already making a huge amount of money off us and 2) the "kick back" was just another scheme. Now paypal only. How long do they think that we will continue to be led like sheep to slaughter. Hey Corporate Offices at ebay, you've made thousands of dollars off of me alone, isn't that enough? Do you really need that new corporate jet that much? I for one, have absolutely had it. I got a phone call from someone at ebay announcing "exciting new changes", I guess the exciting new change is that my profit margin (if there ever really was one) is totally gone. My 500+ listings are all set to expire soon. Whatever is not sold will not be relisted on ebay. It was a lot of fun in the beginning but now, I am to fed up. Ebay made $10,000 off of me last year. This year they will get less than $2,000 and next year they will get nothing. See you in the funny papers.
