Blackthorne Software Discussion Forum: Seller's Assistant Release: SEND COMPLAINTS TO EBAY-- NOT TO JOHN

I feel as "stepped on" as everyone else BUT lets face it, John is now an employee as we all have been or still are. John has been very helpful for the last few years and I am sure he feels bad about this new twist. He built a great company and then sold it. Isn't this the american dream? We need to send our complaints to Ebay, the new "boss". If Ebay gets enough complaints and loses enough business, they will possibly rethink this rental thing or at least give a fair shake to the current AA users. If not, then after our "free" year, LEAVE AA AND EBAY. I certainly intend to. We can ban together and build another auction house to Ebay level. After all is said and done, we the sellers (and buyers) make or break the bank.

I seem to remember that some time ago Ebay did something (I forget what - there are a number of possibilities) that caused a lot of outrage, and drove some people to start their own auction house. It was Gold's. Was. Ain't no more. Maybe starting an online auction is not as easy to do as it to say?

sold us out, did he?
Very disenchanting.
and what's so exciting about being used?
I could care less if John feels bad.
I will now reconsider my loyalty to the product.

Hey...ever notice how the auctioneer in the logo looks just like a pig?

You mean it's not a pig? And all this time, I thought it was... No wonder my Dad kept laughing at me whenever I mentioned it...
