Ok, you asked me to post so here's my take on the issue.
Thanks for dropping by . . . . even if it is to just have a sly dig at me and others.
You obviously regard your association with eBay as an opportunity to operate an enterprising business capable of a financial return,l suggest that the other handfull of supporters probably share that experience as well.
You are kidding, aren't you? Me, operating an enterprising business capable of a financial return, funniest thing I've read here for ages.
I do eBay as a hobby, and rarely sell, certainly not an enterprising business in any way, shape or form.
Tell me, do you have a business plan that includes reviewing your operation policies and proceedures?
I don't have a business plan. When I do sell on eBay I review my return policy . . . . . . is that good enough?
Most successfull business owners that I know have this proceedure in place and return to visit them when they realize that the influences that determine their operations are evolving, or they are simply looking to improve the company's values going forward.
In this instance I see eBay doing just that, It's my opinion that a company that sits on their hands isn't going anywhere.
You and the 6 or 7 posters on here were not a part of any decisions eBay has made regarding their policies,
Your quoted post reveals that you know that you never had, and never will, influence the eBay policy decision makers.
Ouch . . . . . that hurts 
Whether they are good or bad decisions, whether you like the look of them, or don't like the look of them is not an issue - how you deal with the changes is the real issue. Posting links, and complaining. and attempting to recruit support, that seems to be capable of doing little more than talk in circles and, is very slow in arriving,s not going to change anything.
Maybe, maybe not.
For mine I would be doing my best to make the changes work for me, if I thought Ineeded to alter my business plan to accommodate the changes , then I would. On the other hand if the changes were insurmountable, and they dis-advantaged me to the extent that I couldn't find a way forward, I would pack my bags.
We are talking about board changes, aren't we? I don't know of any posters here who have developed a business plan for posting on the boards.
There's no doubt that some will want to argue with me about this - well.. good luck with that.
No arguments from me, I'll reply, but not argue.
My bottom line is rare, but good advice. When your swimming in your neighbours pool, your neighbour makes the rules. If you don't like the rules,but you still want to swim,
Rare indeed, trying to offer advice for a change.
My motivation for engaging/encouraging others in discussion about the proposed impending changes is to make them aware of the implications. That's why I post screengrabs and links, so others can see what is in store.
My other motivation is to ensure that I do everything I can to see that members still have a workable environment in which they can get help when they need it, and I would stack my history of helping members against yours (and that of your other ID) any day.
Thanks for dropping sly by.
