My friend works for ebay in San Jose
I was up in the bay area this weekend and talked to a friend of mine who works for ebay. He did confirm for me that ebay is really cracking down on sellers right now. A new phase started this past fall and more restrictions are in the works I guess. He said they are taking these measures in response to recent surveys that ebay has conducted which indicate that buyers who are burnt by sellers are not likely to use ebay again by a large percentage. Obviously, the chilling effect of this is that a lot of good people are victimized. He admits that buyers are more important than sellers in ebay's eyes.
I tell you though, ebay employees really are out of touch. They live in a world of their own reason. The way he passionately defends ebay reminds me of one of those people who followed the Jim Jones koolaid crew.
