You've gotta be kidding... THIS is what our fees go toward supporting? I'm trying to run a BUSINESS... not a social network. eBay needs a reality check.

from auctionbytes newsletter today. I thought this was amusing (from Ina):
"Before I close, I'd like to mention a letter I received from an eBay seller.
He said he has been suspended for violating eBay's excessive shipping &
handling policy while the top 2 sellers in the category are allowed to
charge *more* than he was charging for S&H with no consequences. This is not
the first seller who has made this claim that eBay is treating its top 1-2
sellers in a category differently than other sellers (even large
powersellers). I noticed this phenomenon when eBay first began enforcing its
Safe Payments policy.
Breaking news: eBay has just figured out howto further antagonize its US
sellers at a time when they are already feeling misunderstood and abused.
Sellers on eBay India will be able to list items on eBay.com at a special
discount tomorrow.
eBay India is holding a 20-cent listing day for its sellers to sell on the
US eBay.com site on September 18. To say that I don't think it will be well
received by US buyers and sellers is an understatement.
This promotion shows that eBay management is either way out of touch with
its members, or just doesn't care. It will likely be interpreted by US
sellers as a way to boost listings on eBay.com at the end of the quarter for
the benefit of Wall Street analysts.
Note to sellers: only users who were registered with India as their country
of residence (as per the address registered with eBay) as of September 11
are eligible for the promotion."

Some people think it may be a way to show stockholders "growth" in users because you have to sign up to participate
