I just found out about the EBAY boycott. I am a power seller- and I was pissed when I get the note about reserves. I have always used reserves responsibly- as have most of the sellers I deal with. I just found out about the boycott from another pissed off power seller. This seller told me that in protest he had put all his reserves very high (I had bid on one of his items this morning and inquired about the reserve) and he is listing everything with another auction company next week- believe me when I tell you I'll be going there to bid next week- because he has some nice stuff. I have bought and sold hundreds of items on EBAY- and they really can't afford to piss off people like me- or the guy who told me about the boycott - he has over 1500 feedback.

Hi Doug You are correct the counts when taken were apparently incorrect Ebay support said they are correct now. They are available on Ebays home page. The fact that back door deals do happen have little to do with the PE ratio of this stock and its yo-yo nature in the past few months. Again my post was to inform investors who would like to do some research on this current event that seemed mostly internal until late Fri.after the bell. What each person does with this information is their business. GMW :>)
