Yes, I have noticed the last three times I pointed out possible illegal activity (in the least morally reprehensible) activity on Ebays part, my sales have dropped to almost zero.

 

So far, I consider it a coincidence (Im not much of a conspiracy theorist - there is clear and obivious evidence for throttling), but it wouldnt suprise me in the least if it wasnt. What better way to remove a problem seller - stop their sales to force them to leave.

 

However, I dont actually have anything to lose financially, so I wont be leaving. If it keeps going on, Ill be pushing a new story line for the two news anchors and many journalist friends I have. All Ebay employees would have a price, and considering a few have come out after theyve left Ebay, I dont think it would take much to get some to hand over some incriminating evidence anonymously while still employed.

 

In short, theyd be pretty stupid to be punishing anyone.

Yep, I am not kidding when I say that mine have eerily followed that pattern. Would be interesting to get more data on others experience on this?

I am like you, I don't rely on selling on eBay to survive, it is very much a hobby. I won't be leaving either, nor will I back down from what I believe in or what I think is wrong or as you say 'morally reprehensible'. And if you do ever consider going down the media route I am a more than willing ally!!!
