<p>[QUOTE="gsalexan, post: 1136338, member: 24274"]Well, we both know that half of Finland would have to defect from eBay before it would even register on their bottom line. But to flip your line of reasoning, if dollars equals votes, then what about all the votes not being counted? Maybe they can measure a drop of revenue but how do you measure the dollars *not* generated, that could be?</p><p><br /></p><p>My real issue with eBay -- which I mostly like, incidentally -- is ethical. Let's say they decided to ban the sale of Hummel figurines because they were thought to contain lead. Later they were proven safe, but eBay left them on the banned list. How is that fair to sellers who have them in stock or buyers who want to collect them? Yes, eBay has the prerogative to do what it pleases, but *should* it? Shouldn't it just do the right thing? I'm just kind of amazed that anyone would argue in favor of corporate irresponsibility or belittle someone who's just trying to remedy the situation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
