Adam J. Baxterand ebay realizes that this seller is the antichrist, I think ebay should send a big fat apology out to people like Jon Canfield. As some of you may remember, Jon had an auction on ebay for an Anson sig that ebay scrutinized for possibly being unauthentic, when honestly, there was no real good reason for them to do so. It's interesting to me how ebay can hold the light of suspiscion (sic) over someone for no particular reason and then sit back and watch the "wench from Gallipolis" either fraud others or shill bid to the tune of 70k. In the short time I have frequented this forum there has been one complaint after another regarding eBay and their policies and when you get right down to it eagle8016 isn't the problem, EBAY is the problem. I mean seriously, ebay doesn't even listen to their power sellers, the backbone of their online business! The question really is: Are we all going to just sit back and take it because the possibility of missing that one auction or that one sale is that important or can we do something to change the way ebay does business and make ebay a truly fair,fun and safe playing ground for everybody? I like ebay and I think that a site like theirs has given the hobby a lot of exposure and a lot of finds, but I also think that ebay is allowing to many things to happen that are going to irreparably damage the hobby. A boycott is a good idea and media exposure would be absolutely essential. If profits are the only language that ebay understands and if refusing to buy or sell for a time is the only way to get them to listen, then maybe we should do it.
