What James said is accurate. Not only is there NO seller protection, there is NO customer service for sellers. For example- when deadbeat buyers don't go through with a transaction, there is no mechanism whereby the final value fees and original listing fees are automatically credited. It takes hours and hours online (phones at eBay are nonexistent) to work this out. They have similar issues with their other questionable billing practices.

They way eBay deals with feedback is equally as ludicrous.

eBay's failure to provide customer service, in addition to what James mentioned, is why "we people" are pissed. Most of "we people" are buyers as well, so it would make no sense for the sellers who are on this crusade, to simply want to "stick it to" the buyers.

Finally- even though eBay may not go out of business over this boycott- there's no reason not to participate. With that defeatist attitude, why should any of us vote or speak out for any cause?
