Thats the theory but official disrespect by Ebay itself has spread down the line.  The lack of respect and trust of the sellers for the site is now flowing onto to the buyers, who as a result are distrustful of the site as a whole., and deserting it.

In short the ideal has been corrupted from the top down.

There is a simmering anger which reacts babdly to patronizing plattitudes.

The result is everyone is finger pointing everyone else. It is bringing out the worst in people. as it does in any business the looks like its heading for the wall.

I know I knee jerk react in a way I never used to, and regret it later
