I already write this exactly same post on other thread and I going to say again….

Don't get me wrong. eBay has the right to raise prices. But, not to mislead everyone, by making us think they are doing everyone a favor. Not!, eBay just ‘’insults Intelligence for most of us’’…eBay just doing favor for Investors and this guys don’t sell anything on eBay but pick up money without any hard work and absolutely do nothing to deserve that money…In my opinion we need the Laws for some of business and banned some of business companies to be bought by guys who make money out of nothing….
Isn't this what most people strive for? To be able to make money without doing anything? Let's see you work, work and work harder to be able to have enough to invest then when your investments pay off you make life a bit easier on yourself. Sorry, but I can't believe there are too many out there who wouldn't strive for this. Some make it some don't. Does that make them bad? Or do we just feel a bit jealous we haven't reached that plateau?

Just leave some of free market and the money for regular guys like us, which just to try to make some ‘’bucks’’ with hard work and leave big guys out of reach because this peoples has enough money for rest of own lives ‘’already’’….enough is enough…
But all this is already late for eBay, but for eBid we have chance ONLY if we are not going to be bought by same people or similar peoples like eBay….
...and if "regular guys" get another 8 years of on line bliss, so what. It was a great run now it has changed. Why wouldn't any other site want the same?

Peoples just don’t get it good old days is gone and to make living from any auction site for most of us is gone…some peoples have the chance like me from end of 90’is to around 2004-2005 but big guys ‘’smell’’ very big bucks in this business and ‘’stop’’ regular guys to make it the money from hard work and now exactly this big guys make it money without any work…
Back in the 60's the good old days were gone, then again in the 70's, 80's, 90's and now. Of course the good old days are gone, however good days are not gone. Folks will continue to make purchases there will be some folks getting rich and the rich will get richer just the same as it has always been, nothing different.

In the end…good guy ‘’terry5732’’ member from eBid already write and copy words of CEO who say’s: "We had to create a mind shift at our company we had to think bold and not just incremental.
We had to create a vision of the future so people could let go of a very successful past."
eBay CEO John Donahoe
I don't believe that was the entire quote but if that is what you have gotten out of it, oh well. CEO's are usually that dumb and make statements such as that that is why they make the big bucks.

P.S. Well…what now…? As anybody can see all around even our good paying jobs is gone and now people with bigger school works if can find job works for much a less…even before only one person in family work and pull out rest of but look now and even after that still not make it...world is much change and as can I see doesn’t matter what for the future any company any business if make it successful will be bought by big guys…
That would be the goal, find a succesful business, buy it and make money.

and by the way we have without eBay 16 other auction sites and none of them is bought by big company or Investors because none of the come close for making money machine like eBay before if even any of this come close say good by low fees, free stores, and usual free stuff…big business just thinking like that and is not going to allow any big competitions around and will be bought just like that…as anybody can see eBay is already bought many small companies who in that time go a little up and thread eBay in other stuff, so eBay bought and implemented this stuff in own site and some like stuff is not good invest but eBay don’t care like this company who eBay bought don’t exist anymore like before and is no threat for eBay and that’s important for this company….
So what your saying is the 16 auction sites should remain small with little profits to satisfy sellers who wish to remain small and obtain low fees? The idea of business is growth and I'm pretty sure profit. I don't know about anyone else out there but I really don't want to work the rest of my life. I would rather build, grow and by all means have someone buy me out. That would be more then welcome.

In the end Gentleman & Ladies open your own eyes and be happy what you have now, good old days with good paying jobs even without school is gone…good old days with monster sales and low fees in any of auction site it is gone too…because I like too see this successful auction site with millions and millions seller’s and buyers with similar number of eBay numbers BUT if we even come close to that in matter of days eBay will not look on that like is nothing happening or any big company or big guys and we will have new rules….and same story of eBay will begin again all over….
And if greed does take over new auction sites will crop up and start again. The scenario will be the same. Build, grow make money sell. That is what it's all about.

I don’t know how much this site worth now but if we make it will worth much more and big guys always has Billions of $$$$$ to change ‘’mind’’ for anybody…
Doesn't matter what this site is worth! What is it worth to you! If the owners decide to grow and grow fast make a profit then get out we have no say so and I applaud them for their success as we alll should. With their success will come profit for us all it's just up to us to jump on the band wagon while we can.

Just one more I have house just a sample and is worth a $150.000 now….in the future price go up and big buyer coming and offer me 20-30 times more….well what did you think I will say no and not pick up the money for which I need be alive in the next 300 years to make that kind of money…is just something like that I hope anybody can understand me….
Did they find a gold mine or diamond mine on your property? Wow 20 to 30 times more? That's a great return. I would be willing to bet even if you had attachments to the property (old family homestead or whatever) at that profit you would sell in a heartbeat yet you knock others for doing the same.
