eBay new strategy is not going to work out for them - here's why.
We all know the reason for eBay's new rules of holding funds based on feedback, DSR, etc. is designed to get rid of the small sellers and attract more big sellers instead.
Of course, it's easy for them now to create an exodus of small sellers and only keep it attractive for powersellers, even though they make life difficult for the lowbie powersellers too.
Why do I think it's not going to work? Sooner or later, powersellers will be affected too and they will slowly start to leave, one by one. That's where eBay's bet is wrong. By making it difficult for the smaller sellers, their base of powersellers will slowly but surely shrink and there goes their business.
