This page contains information, some of which is old but some is current and useful.
Break the ebaY monopoly! Provide ebaY the incentive it obviously needs to provide better service to its users, and to its customers, the sellers. Sellers need to develop other marketplaces so they can insure they have an online marketplace for their goods into the future. TAG has an editorial on the website titled
ebaY A Solution Now
TAG recommends that IF you are going to list on ebaY, do NOT use PayPal, ebaY pic services, Checkout, or ANY ebaY provided service beyond the most basic ones. None of ebaY's services are reliable, and the feature and site reliability continues to be problematical.

Do you have information you feel the Securities and Exchange Commission should investigate? File an SEC report
Is Checkout interfering with your online business? Is the new search interfering with your sales? Is the detailed star ratings allowing ebaY to interfere directly in your business, negating their venue only status? You pay ebaY for services, so file a complaint against ebaY with the Better Business Bureau, the FTC, The Consumer Trouble Shooter and or The Red Tape Chronicles.

TAG no longer reports ebaY numbers because we don't believe ebaY is providing accurate numbers in their categories anymore. Recent changes in the search engine have drastically inflated the numbers and the number of items listed in a category no longer matches the actual search result. ebaY is trying to hide the fact that their listing numbers have been virtually flat since Oct 2000, though the alleged numbers of registered users on the site has increased by huge multiples.
To see the trends on ebaY go to the MedVed site to view their long term records. Just remember that these numbers are based on what ebaY says, and does not have any way to actually count listings.
