Sellers must join as a group and petition as a union, demanding that eBay stop placing banner ads that directly compete with our listing. Today I was looking to buy an item I found the one that I wanted and was ready to buy, but the banner ad placed by eBay on this sellers listing showed me another similar product for less, which I did purchase. This was good for me as a buyer, but unfair to the first seller. My opinion is that eBay is determined to reenergize its sales and presence. eBay has chosen to convince (force) sellers to reduce their prices by directly creating competition. This is understandable, but given the fact that seller pay all of eBays fees, eBay should support sellers, not buyers. Ok, this has been going on for a very long time and everyone knows this, but why has this been so weakly challenged? Sellers ARE eBay, not buyers. The fact is eBay lied when they first began this banner placement, stating that no competing products would be in the banner ads. By investigating, it is proven the opposite. Most ad banners do in fact directly compete with the listing where the banner is placed. When you make a promise, you keep it. Please keep this Group moving forward. Provide contact information and lets get enough sellers to make national press. Jeff
