:x Today I see the Greedbay/FeeBay is having a Greedbay/Feebay TREASURE
HUNT with (25) $1,000 prizes a day and a Grand Prize of $25,000 + a
Greedbay/Feebay Featured store subscription for life OR 50 Years.
Guess when this Treasure Hunt will run? You got it - During the
Boycott week.. Only starting a couple days before to draw in
interest - Feb 16th through Feb 23rd. This lets me know that eBay is
feeling the impact of stores now closing and are doing everything in
their power to keep more from leaving. We need to really step up our
efforts this week to make sure starting FRIDAY - No One is LISTING,
No One is BIDDING and Our stores are closed by this date. We need to
STAY WITH THE PLAN!

The "Treasure Hunt" sounds so pathetic; I almost feel sorry for the
clueless corporate bullies. They really don't get it. But I do get this:
They are more scared and wounded than I had thought possible.

your right

its a boycotting busting plan

but its a good one, may even work

so we may need an alternet plan....

like figure out how we can keep the boycott and nullify the treasure hunt
for the purposes of getting our point across

lets read the rules, and see

what can be listed??

can we list the PROTEST BUTTONS as a listing for .01

can we list the resignation letters for .01

we are not going to stop it, we cant
i belongs to ebay and they are in power over there

thats why we are here posting cause they pull out posts

LETS COME UP WITH STRATEGIES
ALTERNATIVES

NOT JUST COMPLAINTS

Hey, I have an idea,(this may have been dicussed elsewhere, I just signed up tonite) - how bout a little publicity, the nightly news, cnn, Lou Dobbs or cnbc on their stock program in the morning. If we can affect their stock price they'll listen, after all that why they're rasing the rates to provide a higher return to the stock holders.

Lou, are you out there listening ???

I just sent the following to Lou Dobbs, If 10 or 20 more emails show up in his inbox with the same subject - use you own words - I bet he'd feel obligated to help out the underdog. !!! Email him, on the cnn web site.

Breaking News !!!
Ebay has raised their rates. Power sellers and non-power sellers are planing a boycot. the 18th -25th.

This would make a great report and you could beat the big three. We are tring to affect their revenues, thus their stock price, which is why they are raising their rates in the first place. They own the market. Server farms have not gone up in price if anything server hard drives are getting cheaper.

Lou are you listening??

Love your show!! Keep up the bulldog tact.

ok so 25 prizes per day

what are the chances you would actually win?

How many ebay users are there?

How much traffic do they get every day?

So 1 in how many million?

I'd make more money selling my crap there and be pretty well guaranteed of it. A waste of time is what I say.
