Too bad us eBay sellers ended up having to endure Meg Whitman.
You think *she* was bad?? Her successor, John Donahoe is MUCH MUCH worse.. I'd sold on eBay since around 1998, and Meg's tenure was positively refreshing compared to Donahoes.. Her mantra was "eBay is just a venue", and pretty much stuck to it.. With Donahoe, its ALL about the buyers now, they can do no wrong.. He seems to convieniently forget that it is the SELLERS who pay the ever-growing fees that keep eBay running. The sellers, who stick around, now have a not-so-silent partner in their business, butting in with endless new rules and requirements, where he has NO business.. He seems to be trying to rid eBay of all small sellers, such that unless you peddle millions of $$ of cheap Chinese crap each month, eBay doesn't want you.. From about 1998 to 2008, I sold probably 2-3K/mo, as a nice sideline business.. Since 2008, I no longer sell there, and if you read the eBay forums, you'll see I sure *aint* the only one...
