Seems you would be good if you were in charge...you have already doubled production, and in a holiday vein to boot!
Ebay would become vintage/pre-owned items ONLY.
- Every single seller of new items would be given their thirty day notice. On day 31 they are GONE.
- Absolutely no dropshipping.
- Seller location limited to US and Canada ONLY.
- Search would revert back to "what you type in is what we show you, not what we think you want to see".
- Standard listing format with set personalization options for every listing - no more stupid 1990s flashy templates and scrolling galleries.
- Listing packages available - 50 free, 250 for $5, 500 for $10, 1000 for $15. Listings above 1k are 25 cents each.
- Flat 7% FVF on total (item plus shipping) for all listings no matter the category.
- Standard 14 day buyer paid return policies for every listing.
- 3% FVF discount for listings with 14 day seller paid returns.
- 3% FVF increase for listings with no returns.
- Buyer limitations as to returns, capped at 5%. Exceed 5% and you are gone (barring extenuating circumstances), banned by name, address, IP and payment info.
- Profit sharing for professional sellers who adhere to rigorous seller standards.
- Manditory new seller training, with new sellers subject to tiered dollar and listing limits, with full access after 100 successful transactions.
- Seller feedback to be removed and replaced with an automated transaction count
- Feedback completely removed for buyers.
This is fun! 
I'll think of more later, I'm sure...

Having experiences where I was considering an item, only to find the same item much less expensive that was never shown to me initially, and having found listings under a different timed search that were never there initially, I understand.
What would I do? Resign and apply for a job at Amazon.
So, @pburn, you mean you would...wait for it... DEFECT?
(Sorry, everybody, I know defects aren't funny, just couldn't resist that!)
