Simply because eBay is deceiving investors much the same as they
attempt to deceive their own users. eBay claims they want to be a safe palce for buyers and sellers to
eBay releases public relations articles such as how they have cut
eBay claims they are attempting to reduce high shipping costs, yet the
eBay is the worst when it comes to full disclosure. Victims - i.e.

Maybe they are hoping that someone with at least half a brain will
take note of what is happening to thousands of good sellers who have a vested interest in the site. Maybe they are hoping that someone will care enough to begin to put some pressure on the people that are responsible for all the bad changes that are happening. Possibly they are wrong and no one cares at all. You must Sign in before you can post messages.

One great caution... If these new Up-starts think they can duplicate
what eBay did, they are very wrong... eBay was built on a lot of corruption and new Up-starts will be highly scrutinized, so there will never be another Disaster like eBay! You must Sign in before you can post messages.

Some people are concerned because the direction of the stock and
company directly effect their finances. Sure, if you own stock you can just sell. But if you notice, according to the charts on this site, approximately 70% of the stock is institutionally owned. Most of these institutions are retirement funds. Some people might come here because they are simply unhappy with eBay, some think that if what's happening becomes known that pressure will be put on eBay to straighten up. Still others may come here to dissuade the retirement funds from further investing in an imploding company. Some people type without thinking and some think first. As the answers to your question seem obvious I'll assume it's a rhetorical question. Rhetorical questions are fine but shouldn't require the caps lock. You must Sign in before you can post messages.

I am just curious why someone who abandoned Ebay would come back to
it's stock forum to bash Ebay's management team and method. What's the mentality behind this. Do they still have an interest in the stock's direction or not? My guess is they do. You must Sign in before you can post messages.

The reason people are so unhappy is that the company has let them down
and is now so full of itself it is lying to investors. I was 100% behind ebay for over 10 years I invested time and money along with many other ebay sellers making the company what is was and we now feel betrayed imagine Due to the new rules it is as if 1 million people have been unfairly dismissed from their jobs We tried to talk to ebay we even had a seller boycott but they did not seem to care. We then did some research and upon closer scrutiny we have found ebay to be a tissue of lies list padding fake ebay accounts listing loads of items to make the figures look good and other dishonest things the company is doing to keep the figures looking good and are trying to inform the stockholder which is a noble and only thing we can do ebay don't listen to their custormer so maybe we have a better chance if their stockholders start to question what is going on In short if your boss change the rules at work so you could not work there anymore you would want to know why?

It makes no less sense than someone coming here to promote eBay and
say they are the best thing since sliced milk. If their retirement fund invests in eBay they have an interest, if they want stockholders to vote Donahue out, they have an interest. Their interest may be in the direction the company takes, not the direction of the stock price. Since everyone has a different (or even multiple) reason for being here, you will have to direct your question to individual posters and they might tell you. Most stockholders that come here just want eBay to stop making bad decisions. Some want them to make bad decisions so they can short the stock. Some are self-serving, some are fighting injustice. Whatever the case may be no one should let the lies overshadow the facts and eBay has been doing a lot of the lying as of late. You must Sign in before you can post messages.

The eBay Titanic is sinking! Even my grandmother hates eBay now.
She can't sell there. Her listings are not showing thanks to ebay's policies. You must Sign in before you can post messages.

Stockholders, when you bought eBay stock a year ago at $40 a share, I
am sure you figured eBay was a solid buy and would make a modest profit in a year. There was no real reason to believe otherwise. With the economy getting worse it would seem eBay to be one of the best buys at that time. There would be more people pulling items from the closet to make an extra buck and a lot more people would be looking for great deals on eBay to save a buck. Now you find that you have taken nearly a 50% loss and have to hold with hopes of a comeback. Not going to happen. What has changed over the last year to cause you your loss. It can not be the sellers or buyers as an increase of those was very anticipated. There are two reasons why you have had a loss and why it is not going to get better. New management and new policy changes causing turmoil in the eBay community. As a seller or buyer we can go to a different venue to do business at anytime and we might have a minimal monetary loss. There is not one thing that forces us to stay with eBay, it is one of many places we can do business and the loss is just on venue will not hurt to the same degree as you with shares in eBay. If you decide to not do business with eBay you loose half of what you invested. A seller can make up their losses fairly quick. How long will it take for you to just break even, one, two maybe three years. Then again you might just go down with the ship. Right now you can still buy your way on a lifeboat buy selling, yeah it may be a hefty fee, but at least you will be safe and can find another ship to board, because you still have some money left to buy a ticket. If you wait too long, there won't be any lifeboats left and you will go down with the ship with no hope of being saved. The stockholder is in a different position because You must Sign in before you can post messages.

My guess is they do. forums, and make occasional posts, because I don’t like the way eBay has become a platform that either perpetrates, facilitates, or enables thousands of crooks to enter the homes of millions of honest eBay customers, while maintaining that they are only a venue, and have no responsibility for the crimes being committed. I also believe that some of their policy changes are meant solely to obscure their culpability in the criminal activities that surround them. I hope, for the sake of all of the institutional investors out there, that they really do have the cash they say they have on their balance sheet, because their “Goodwill” and other assets will not go very far to cover their liabilities and the common stock outstanding.
