I guess my biggest hangup was with the term "strike" as opposed to "protest" or something along those lines. Again, a strike does not have an end date. Some guys will not be able to list double the amount of items next week, but many will...wait and see. And, a strike needs full participation which of course is impossible on eBay, especially those that make their living off of eBay.

To the point of hurting eBay with the example of if you don't get your paycheck this month, but get 2 next month.....If this so called "strike" was a month long strike, then you could use this argument. But it is only a week. So are you trying to tell me that if you get paid weekly, and don't get a check this week, but get 2 paychecks next week that that would have a big impact on you?

An effective strike, like the recent writer's strike, has to have full participation and must be waged until there is a satisfactory compromise.
