Why does all the protesting, screaming, crying, ranting, raving, begging, petitioning, pleading, and threatening appear to fall on deaf ears at eBay? That is very simple, they do not care. Oh they do care very much overall, but they may not care about you in particular.Every time eBay increases its fees, modifies its procedures, changes its format, the noise starts up in earnest by those directly affected and they all wonder why eBay does not care about them anymore, or more importantly, why they are pushing them so hard, perhaps to their financial limits.Consider the math, eBay has; if they raise rates for sellers by any percentage you choose, say 25% then they will make more money as long as something less than 25% of the sellers don’t run off to do something else. What are the chances of that? Where would they go?
