eBay is a community that encourages open and honest communication among all its members.

Our community is guided by five fundamental values:

• We believe people are basically good.

• We believe everyone has something to contribute.

• We believe that an honest, open environment can bring out the best in people.

• We recognise and respect everyone as a unique individual.

• We encourage you to treat others the way you want to be treated.

eBay is firmly committed to these principles. And we believe that community members should also honour them—whether buying, selling, or chatting with eBay friends.

The values certainly remain true for me, and I think for most members (buyers, sellers & those who post on the boards) in that WE have remained committed to these principles - let' face it,  they are pretty simple & basic & are a great set of fundamental values that I have always applied to life in general not just eBay.

So, as mentioned by others, whilst I agree in part, I think eBay themselves are the ones who have thrown these values to the wind, as is clearly indicated by their own actions and treatment of members (particularly their blatant disrespect of Sellers)
