I'm just trying to understand...why does eBay need Probstein? Fundamentally, the only value that Probstein added was to aggregate sales so that individual sellers could save on eBay fees, but there are a lot of alternatives for that now.
If I were eBay, I'd let Probstein back on like any other seller, but charge him full freight. You've got to shoot a hostage every now and again. |

why not do both? Let consignment select a lower rate or eBay. Almost a billion in sales seems silly to just walk away but Rick’s a good businessman and knows what he’s doing lol

I don't think eBay loses much if Probstein shuts down all of a sudden (not saying that I want it to happen). The billion in sales would immediately be absorbed by other eBay platforms.

Some days this crap just makes me want to sell everything and quit the hobby.
Here's a question: Do we know if he really "quit" EBay or is there more to that story?
