Well, it is MORE then price hikes by both ebay and Australia Post....it is MORE than people tightening their belts......MORE than the state of the ecenomy.....MORE than items being out of fashion.....MORE than the end of the financial year.....MORE than a Federal election looming.

The 2 major reasons have been posted on these forums for weeks in various threads.

1. Cyber hacking by 'someone' is messing with the search and many other functions of this major web site and many other large websites-at both govt levels and company levels-THIS IS ON TOPIC!!! If buyers can't find and see items to buy then where the heck are sales going to come from? Documented in G**gle and media

2. Ebay has turned off 400 of it's over 52,000 servers to its 117 million users, saving itself $2 million dollars. I believe that sellers are complaining-on ALL ebay sites WORLDWIDE that they/their shops/item views/functions are being turned OFF, disappear day in/day out.

ALL DOCUMENTED ON THESE THREADS.

I know I am right when moderators assigned to these forums 'discussions' are unrepentant in trying to SHUT ME UP, report me.

EBAY WILL LOSE MONEY IF SELLERS STOP PAYING AND BUYERS STOP BUYING 

Yes, 'sales have hit a wall'.......intermittently......so whatchoo gonna do 'bout it? sulk? whinge? keep paying for this type of service?
