We were once a Power Seller and avidly make great weekly sales (under our old Sellers account)...not any more.    I can agree with most of the sentiment on this and other discussion threads, HOWEVER I can't get over the "doom and gloom lets just curl up and die attitude" of Sellers.   Don't just sit hear moaning about it, as simply eBay couldn't care less.   GET OFF YOUR BUTT'S AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT !   Over the past 14 days I've sold a grand total of $$$ZERO on eBay, however on the Australian fee free QS siteduring the same period I've made over $2,400.   I hear so much bad press from some here on eBay in respect to QS (or "Slowsales" as it's sometimes referred), however this is the site turning a few $$$ for me. Sure it's a bit slow, but if Seller got behind it for 6 months it could quite easily become the New eBay   eBay may not care about Seller's, but their shareholders sure will (eBay is a publically listed on the US Stock Exchange), in particular when their dividend payments dry up.

For QS to grow Ebay needs to stuff up to an extent that sends buyers looking there, rather than just sending disgruntled sellers. Ebay will be default site for buyers until its search facility becomes too hard. If buyers start to abandon it because that becomes the case, they will undo the causes. Ebay know that buyer presence dictates seller activity. Sellers cant dictate anything on their own

Problem is in the push to totally internationalize Ebay, Aussies are disadvantaged as a result because of AP international postal rates.
