I've been reading quite a lot of forum posts, both here and elsewhere, and I do think it is very telling that quite a lot of e..y sellers were in fact very fed up with the site before the new changes were announced.
In fact, for many sellers they have simply been the straw that broke the camel's back.
Maybe one of the main factors is that anyone who complains about e...y is automatically assumed to be a 'bad' seller.
Yet, apart from one seller I had problems with, I had no problems whatsoever. They ranged from casual sellers to power sellers and supplied what I believe to be e..y's lifeblood - variety.
As these sellers leave (and apparently nobody cares because we must be 'bad' to even consider going) the one thing that kept e...y alive, drains away.
