The writers may be back at work following their extended (and very justified) holdout, but that doesn’t mean all is well out there. 

Internet auction giant Ebay has apparently ticked off a few of their key sellers by altering a few of the fees among other functional changes – and the sellers are fighting back.  While this plays out very well for smaller auction companies, its also great to see that it is actually providing results; as seen in the 13 percent drop in listings. 

Drops in listings will provide drops in profits, so as the users unite, the Giant gets kicked in the shins.  Whether or not anything happens from this is to be seen.  Just like those that like to send emails out about not getting gasoline on certain days, for example, fail to realize that sometimes, you just have to do certain things.  Whether or not EBay users are willing to forgo all of the hard work that has gone into getting their “ratings” and “Power Seller” status to sell things at another site is the big question.

As much as people like change in the technology world, I’m willing to bet that this one won’t be long – even if it is “extended” for now.
