And without all the cussing I would have added. The 900 pound gorilla deserves to be flogged. 14,291,396 That's how many listings are currently on ebay - Sept. 28, 2007. That number has increased by approx. 2-million since the beginning of this month...ala, the fee sale. What needs to happen is for that number to be no more than 6-million, for prolly a couple of weeks. A month would be better. That is the only way to get the gorilla's attention. It surely will get the attention of The Street, thus ebay. All it will take is for the members of IMA, PESA, CA/MW to make the commitment to stop listing for... however long it takes. That's all. With the current appearance of all those Yahoo Sponsored Ads on ebay, even the large volume sellers should be concerned. Maybe they are? Psst...PESA meets this coming week. Maybe IMA/Steve could make a call, see what other folks are thinking. Just saying... Very well written, Lively. Quite astute observations. And without all the cussing I would have added.

That’s how many listings are currently on ebay - Sept. 28, 2007. That number has increased by approx. 2-million since the beginning of this month…ala, the fee sale.

What needs to happen is for that number to be no more than 6-million, for prolly a couple of weeks. A month would be better. That is the only way to get the gorilla’s attention. It surely will get the attention of The Street, thus ebay.

All it will take is for the members of IMA, PESA, CA/MW to make the commitment to stop listing for… however long it takes. That’s all. With the current appearance of all those Yahoo Sponsored Ads on ebay, even the large volume sellers should be concerned. Maybe they are?

Psst…PESA meets this coming week. Maybe IMA/Steve could make a call, see what other folks are thinking. Just saying…
