What's up with eBay?

Ive thought for a long time about whether to post this. I finally decided that I had to do it because I would want you to tell me the truth if the shoe were on the other foot.

Many of you know that I used to work at eBay, and today seemed like a good day to share some of some thoughts with you on what's happening over there. For a long time, it was a magical place. There was a special, personal connection between the buyers, the sellers, the website, and the many wonderful people who worked at the company. Big corporations paid the same prices as the little guys and everyone had a fair shot to build their business. Most of all, eBay provided *value* to the buyers and sellers alike - sellers got great traffic to their items, and buyers got the world's biggest assortment at great prices.

Today's eBay is something altogether different.
