It was the huge number of small sellers and the variety of goods they offered that made ebay what it is now. Seems ebay definately do not want these small sellers now. It appears the corporate world's answer to when people have little money to spend and things get tight - raise your prices. This logic seems pretty dumb to me. Cheaper prices = more buyers thus eventually more income comes in. Oh well the richer get richer and the poor get poorer, trouble is there are a lot more poor than rich. One day somebody in this dumb world may wake up.
