Steve; Re; your last post, "6,600 posts in a fortnight, and counting, suggests the change might not be too popular."
I believe that if it were ten times that amount,(66,000 negative posts) they would continue on this course as it hasn't cost them anything.
Considering that eBay's brand new CEO has chosen these changes to boost their profits, I see three options to remedy the current unfair practices and much higher costs for sellers.
#1. Sellers boycott.
#2. Some competition from a multimillion dollar enterprize, such as Yahoo or other.
#3. Reduction of some of their tens of thousand employees who have nothing better to do than dream of new ways to complicate a once simple and pleasureable system.
Having no control over options #2 or #3, I have chosen option #1.
I truly believe, that if a significant number of sellers would choose this option, it would take very little time to get the message across.
Richard.
