Claude,
I have no quarrel with any of that. But I stand by my statement.
They take us sellers for granted. I understand why sellers are
frustrated with them.

that is true except for one thing. This hobby had around 4-5000
collectors before ebay. I judge this by the subscribers to MCW at
the time. Before Bruce left ebay he had over 20000 feedbacks and
ebay only allowed one per buyer to count. They changed this later
but that means there were over 20000 collectors and it was all due
to ebay.

Hello, Claude,
I submit this. You don't understand our feelings because you are a
buyer and not a seller. There is a fundamental inequity between
the way that ebay treats its buyers and sellers. It's not about
their profits, it's not about their greed. It wasn't broke and they
fixed it
again and again, squeezing the sellers whenever they could. Just
like every collectible hobby, movie posters would be nowhere were it
not
for the network of dealers. DEALERS (and auction houses) still
handle most of the great stuff.
Respectfully,
Kirby

I fully agree. Why don't you all stop complaining about a venue
that increased our hobby tremendously. It is still my number one
place to find posters I want.
Ebay became a public company and during the growth years, the greed
went to their heads, no different from anyone else. that is why
the economy is what it is today. All public companies were
interested in was increasing over the prior year to increase top
management's bonus payments and stock options. The growth need
forced changes and unfortunately their changes were not well
thought out.
