Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
“eBay believes that eBay members are isolated from each other, largely ignorant of eBay’s actions with regard to PayPal and are therefore ineffectual in complaining about or opposing eBay’s deplorable practices. For the average eBayer being channelled into paying by PayPal may seem to be a risk free and temporary thing rather than a calculated deception by eBay”, Mr Green said.
“Most eBayers are unsure how and where they should complain, and eBay are counting on this to push its policies through. We intend to expose this tactic to all eBay members.”
“The discussion boards on eBay are a good indicator of the level of anger at eBay’s new policies. There is no flocking to the boards by people who support the new policies. To the contrary they are full of horror stories and tales of anger and frustration from people who are violently opposed to them”, said Mr Green.
“Between them the co-ordinators of the group have a data base of over one hundred thousand email addresses of eBay members who have purchased from us, and through other supporting sellers access to many hundreds of thousands more. If necessary we will contact every one of them to alert them to the full consequences of the disastrous policies that eBay have introduced. We will do the job that eBay is morally obliged but too frightened to do – to keep eBay members informed,” said Mr Green.
"The group will conference again this evening to make decisions on its first legal offensive against eBay and to decide on a timetable.
"Meanwhile, activity on the eBay site from both buyers and sellers has taken a nosedive, member’s anger and frustration continues unabated, and the level of disaffection with eBay is growing. eBay’s only response has been to temporarily discount listing fees – again – the third such promotion in the past six weeks in a desperate move by eBay to arrest the steady decline in the number of listings."
Here the media statement ends.
No doubt eBay is now aware of this action, and what action it takes next we will report.
