eBay Boycott this Week
17 February 2008There’s been a fair bit of talk since eBay announced their fee and feedback changes earlier this year. And a growing number of sellers are signing up, verbally at least, to participate in a boycott of eBay this week. It is supposed to start on Monday, the 18th of February 2008 and extend for 7 days. It’s no coincidence that that 7 days encompasses the 20th of February. That’s the day that the changes take effect.
So, will you be participating? I normally don’t participate in things like this, but I believe I will this time around. I’m running a little low on inventory anyways, so the extra week will give me plenty of time to get my inventory levels up to normal. I’m no powerseller, so my not listing isn’t going to make a big difference. All of us together though can make a small dent in eBay this month. Certainly not enough to make a difference in the fees or feedback change, but enough to make eBay notice a little more.
I’m also working on taking the time that I would have used to list items for the coming week, and using it to revisit some alternatives to eBay that are worth checking out. Some I’ve used and use, others that I’m only thinking about. Keep an eye out this week for several of those.
