They were GTC and had been running for many months. I would have removed them myself but somehow had missed them. Ebay had said basically don't worry about it, they'll be removed automatically, but somehow it had taken a little extra time to get these 2 combed out. No problem, it didn't affect me really.
I was curious as to how many had been removed from other seller listings so I did a search of one I.D.'s of the "big 4" of Ebay sellers. Usually each of the 4 I.D.'s had over 100,000 active listings. As of this afternoon they each had "only" approximately 10,000 active listings per account.
It seems that even the biggest powersellers were hugely affected when 90% of their listings are gone. What remains to be seen is how this will affect their actual sales. Maybe it will be a little or a lot, but it seems to me that this will somewhat level the playing field.
