It is patently obvious that eBay doesn't need sellers, it needs buyers. Every single change in the last 5 years has been to the advantage of the buyer. You can't get a negative feedback as a buyer, and the requirements for sellers continually favor the large commercial seller.
What really sucks is that eBay started out as a place where anybody could buy and sell what they wanted, easily and cheaply. The millions of small to moderate sized sellers built eBay into a multi-billion dollar company. Now, however, because there is no such thing as too big or too rich, they are saying "thanks for making us what we are, now get the Hell out!" One more example of something that was ruined by becoming successful.
