Media Inquiries: Yes, we will provide a statement for your story. Please leave us a message here through the You Tube message system with your contact information. Your call will be returned promptly.

UPDATE #7: I will be appearing on Fox Business News tomorrow (19th) at 8:10 AM Eastern Time, 7:10 Central, and 5:10 Pacific Time to discuss the Ebay Boycott. It's channel 359 on Direct TV. This is not your local Fox channel, its a national news channel so you'll need to have cable to watch it. Tune in if you can and show me and Fox News some ratings support!

UPDATE #6: Tazbar.com offering Buy It Now specials and a cash prize contest during the week of the strike! Overstock.com is offering a 50% discount to any Ebay sellers who list during the week of the strike! ebid.net is offering a 48 hour special for lifetime listings! ecrater.com is totally FREE! Lets support these Ebay alternatives as they support us!!!

UPDATE #5: Ebay runs another listing special in the US. Listings go up by 3 million. That's now two listing specials in less than two weeks. Unheard of.

UPDATE#4: Many people are being unfairly banned from Ebay for simply expressing disagreement with the oncoming changes. Ebay stated we could share our opinions and they would listen but when we do they ban with no warning, no email...nothing. We've gotten tired of the censorship and taken our discussions to our own forum with live chat capabilities. All are welcome to join us. Link is above.

UPDATE #3: On 2/5/08, Ebay notices that listing counts are getting dangerously low and have not been in the green since their announcement. They run a listing sale in Canada to temporarily and artifically increase listing numbers. Even with the Canadian listing sale, as of 12:04 AM on the 6th, listing counts appear to have only gone up by 378,122 listings.

UPDATE#2: As of 2/5/08, thch123 has been banned from Ebay for making the other strike video. Looks like the Ebay powers that be don't like us much!

UPDATE: As of 2/4/08, I have now been BANNED from Ebay for simply making this video. Mr. Donahoe doesn't appear to like me too much.

I give my express permission to all individuls watching this video that they are permitted to comment on it, favorite it, subscribe, embed it on any other web site they deem appropriate, and email it to anyone they should so choose.

its ebay and the post office fees thats making it worthless to use ebay. i just sold something for 0.99 and my ebay fees were $3.25. Its cheaper to just throw the stuff away, i just gave ebay 3 bucks for nothing! They also need to comeout with a fairer buyers/bid option, if you see something you want but have to wait to purchase you should be able to have a hold option or fee, instead being told your an irresponsible bidder and get low reviews.

my god your a freaken idiot. If you don't have the money to buy it now, don't bid on it and expect the seller to wait for you to get some money. what a freakin moron. how about you shop when you have money like most people. You are part of the problem with our economy now. IDIOT

If you didnt have such a rude big mouth with llc next to your name CarLoser, your buisness might do better, telling people to get lost is not good customer service. I've spent $3000 in the past three months on ebay and 99% of the sellers i asked for some patience were so. But ill take your advice by doing the economy a favor and closing my ebay account and keep the rest of my money in my pocket. Did i mention UPS has half the shipping fees than USPS?

Just realized something else CarKnucklehead Looking for Loser to Con...you probably sell cars on ebay, so your right, why the hell would anyone bid if they didn't have the money to buy a car. But let me clarify, thats not what i was talking about, i'm talking about $5, $10, $15, $20 bids that sellers cry about after 7 days. That just tells me you go around calling your customers idiots thats what you think they are, cause cause only idiots and suckers buy cars from ebay in the first place.

What pisses me off is the're forcing people to use pay pal. Money order is a dirty word on there. i'm bidding on something atm where the seller states he accepts pp and M O's, but ebay just has PP under payment options, and as "seller preffered". if i win it i'll se what happens.

for some buyer ebay is cool because they only have to pay and if they don't want the iem they put a dispute and sometimes some buyer get free stuff from ebay ,ebay si a really trash we need to work all together in my opinion we all have to move to ebid they don't charge you for fees and is more easy .
hobbystore92 (November 15, 2008 at 6:19 am)
ebay is complete trash they don't have costumer support 24/7 because they can't support millions of people they only care about buyer and that's is example i sold a pair of speakers after a week the guy send me a email to refund money because one tweeter was blown i said no and he easy put me a dispute he won he send me the speakers and i found the tweeter was damaged in purpose just to get the money back bullshit we don't want ebay .
