Many are not actually saying they have joined the boycott due to the reasons you list, like banning all those who joined, getting rid of posts/discussion that are in favor, etc etc…what you fail to realize is most sellers only wanted ebaY to see the error of their ways, especially when it came to not allowing the seller to leave negative feedback on a buyer who really needed it. The changes will be reversed after those who pushed for it see the damage it has wrought.

Finally, a lower stock price will drive ebaY management to reverse the bad policy in favor of the old system because common sense will dictate this.
