Dear Ms. James:
I read your article with interest. In it, however, you state there are only about 35-40 organised boycotters. I have no idea where you sourced those figures, but they are grossly incorrect. There are over 200 organised Motorcycle sellers and buyers boycotting alone. At least as many from the collector vehicle areas, and probably twice that just boycotting on their own. The organised boycott may have formally ended this week, however most, if not all, are continuing it until eBay reacts with more than simple "band-aid" fixes to eBay Motors.
Regards,
Duncan S.
Dear Ms. James:
I am sure, if a survey was done, that even those that are still using Motors are very unhappy they just feel they have no other choice. Unfortunately eBay has the largest audience as far as online auction sites go. That is for the moment. I'm sure that with all their changes in the last few months (and most of those changes were not good ones in mine and many others' opinions) there will be an auction site soon that will challenge them. eBay has become too greedy and tried to grow too big too fast and has forgot the bidders and sellers who made them what they are. What were loyal eBayers are now looking to go else where since they feel they have been sold out by eBay.
I and many others believe that they could put back the old categories while they fix motors then we would be willing to look at the site again once they have it working properly. But this forced move to a site we didn't sign up for is not acceptable.
Thanks,
Cyn
