HankronGlenn, the point is to not boycott forever eBay, or to try and cripple their finances (obviously, not possible). It is to make a point and give them a chance to try and correct their problem. If we can remove $100,000 of sales in a brief period in conjunction with asking them to make one or two simple changes (restrict the use of private auctions in this area is my choice), they may listen.
The brief boycott is to make a point, and to say that this can happen again and be larger if the changes are not made. The changes that are being asked for are entirely reasonable and would take about 20 seconds for eBay to institute.
It should be pointed out that eBay is more than welcome to today or tomorrow or next Monday instutute better policies to prevent this fraud or at least address it in a reasonable manner, and everyone would be happy.
