Couldn't have put it better myself koala.

Of course there are things about ebay I don't like but as I am not a shareholder it is not up to me how ebay run their site.

As far as I am concerned I have no more right to tell ebay how they should do things than I have to tell my local shopping centre which stores they should lease to, how much they should charge in rent or what those shops should be allowed to sell. If I wanted to open a store there I would have to pay what they wanted and sell what I was allowed to under my contract.

Does it never occur to some of the detractors that buyers also read these boards and the attitude of some sellers who bag ebay at every turn cannot engender confidence in buying from any sellers and specifically from those who are ranting and raving about everything ebay does.
