eBay Strike – will it be effective?

Today begins the day when eBay sellers and eBay buyers grab hands and run in revolt of the changes to the eBay system. The strike, or protest, or boycott (whatever you want to call it) began today when the clock struck Midnight – and really, it seems that we’re all standing around holding our breath trying to figure out whether there has been any noticeable impact thus far.

You can track some of the support for this strike on this eBay thread. You can also see the sharp spike in search terms like eBay strike and eBay boycott – so you know that this Feb. 18th – Feb. 25th strike has a little bit of traction.

I will be watching this strike closely because I have a vested interest in parts of it and I will be reporting back here with any new or significant links that share a major update.

If you know of any alternatives to eBay that work well for you – please feel free to leave a comment.
