Message:: [QUOTE="susanlynn9, post: 22425, member: 1258"]Getting back to the article, although some of the same problems exist, I think they exist in a much smaller scale with eBay taking a different stance on the fraud issues. Back in 2002, their response to anything that they didn't want to deal with was, "eBay is just a venue". I am seeing a lot less of that now. I am seeing solid evidence that eBay is attempting to take action. Powersellers may still be being given some preferential treatment, but I don't think it's as prevalent as it was. I have seen powersellers permanently suspended and I have seen powersellers have their powerseller status taken away due to low positive feedback percentage. I guess it all depends on how you look at it - is the glass half empty or half full? Rather than look at "what was", I prefer to look at "what is" and "what will be". Perhaps this makes me more optimistic than most, but until I see that progress has halted, I will continue to hope for a better future for eBay and its buyers.   <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
