Responding to Rich and mintacular, who both made good points, I guess the auctions are in some ways not as profitable as the fixed price format. It would seem like both large corporations and mom and pop sellers could live together harmoniously, as there's a need for both of them. So why not let the auction business grow too, even if they want to draw more attention to the bigger retail sellers?
I know that vintage baseball cards comprise maybe 1/10 of 1% of all ebay sales, so I don't think they are losing too much sleep over our issues. But for that reason alone, why not just leave it be?
