I have had this thought before and this thread and the ramifications of the new changes signalled for the US market, have brought it to mind again -

Is ebay just a front for an organisation who's real agenda is - let's find as many ways as possible to make the life and experience of a very large group of people (sellers), as difficult and unpleasant as we can !!! Hehe !

I know it hasn't happened or is signalled here yet but others are I'm sure correct in saying that its only a matter of time.

Honestly when you have been involved with ebay in a selling capacity for as long as I and many others have, you are just reduced to manic laughter with each new blow they deliver to sellers.

Honestly, ebay, you stagger belief !
