after reading some other storys in this auction watch site about the 10 movers and shakers. I found the whole outcome very disturbing from a sellers point of view. These people getting 67 million in stock option kick backs, and multiple million in bonus, while most of the sellers on these sites are scrambling to just pay there bills. You now no longer have to worry about why these sites had to start charging fees and others had to raise there allready outrageous fees. How else do you give people 67million in stock options! these people get ultra rich while the average seller strugles to make ends meet. what a disgrace, these people need to come down on the small guys level. the net needs a GOOD auction site just for sellers, where they actually care about sellers. something that is devoted to the small people of the world trying to make a living. Greed is an obsession that is never satisfied. its worse than any addiction it can never be satisfied and has long reach affects on thousands of other people in that you get to the point where you only care about the "whats in it for me principal". sure i think we all understand that every company is in business to make money but 67 million in stock options for one person! Maybe these companys started off with the right idea but then the greed thing took over. who knows. are you also a seller that is scraping by? Where is a descent auction site that isnt trying to take what the credit cards isnt? Oh well i guess we can all say, MORE POWER TO YA, to all those who have to feed off those beneath them!

are you sure that it was $67 million in options or 67 million options? if it is the former, don't forget that would be the current value and many people cash in when the stock has dropped in value. but why would it bother you in any case? if someone builds a business to the point where it is worth millions more power to them! the bottom line is whether or not the auction sites you use are treating their members right or not!

sounds like you got some reply from some sappy exec. i read the same article and the person got 67 million dollars in stock options. wow stusi who do you think pays for that a goverment grant? the sellers on those auction sites. I also think the fees on these sites are much to high, guess they need more auction sites, its just like everything else the more auction sites it takes away from the pie. You can read the article for your self its right on this site, under i think movers and shakers in the news and info section. It looks like to me these people will price them selves right out of the market. look at yahoo, they dont have hardly any sellers anymore, mass exodus! Maybe these auction sites should take a lesson from the pharoh/ and moses, you can only keep people under bondage for so long! reliant dont listen to some one who u can tell doesnt sell on these auction sites like stusi. the bottom line is how affective is the auction site for its sellers and what customer service do they offer, and what ive noticed from the big sites i sell on NO CUSTOMER SERVICE, they rarely answer your eml, or with some form eml that has nothing to do with your problem, they just answer eml and flat dont care! They dont do anything with deadbeat bidders, they just sit back and prod the sellers with fees that are too high for what you get. Hey im open to some new auction sites that are more seller friendly myself.

sappy exec?????? the mind boggles at those numbers, but the point remains; who cares? if you are using an auction site that you are unhappy with then switch. no one owes you more than good service for your fees. "UNDER BONDAGE"?????? do you have a persecution complex or something? you sound as though you are locked into some long-term contract and are unhappy with the service! stop whining!!! p.s.- i am a 90% satisfied ebay buyer and once when i tried to sell an item unsuccessfully on ebay, i sold it immediately on amazon. no bondage!!!!
