My mother sells used books & other unique finds on eBay. It’s a full-time job for her, but she describes herself somehow as semi-retired. I think it’s the work from home aspect as it allows her the flexibility to volunteer on-call with a hospice agency. Typically she’s selling unique items & books at $1 auctions & crossing her fingers that they go up from there. She’s been filling my ear with her frustrations with eBay as they favor the small time seller less & less these days. It seems the policy changes favor the Dell computers, other refurbished re-sellers, & large volume sellers rather than the person at home on a desktop.

She’s been thinking about switching to another site but wonders if she can take the challenge of re-launching her sales to something new & wonders if she can even sell with something with less traffic volume as so many of her titles are so random and unique. Wanting to help, I signed up to a website organizing folks to pressure & boycott eBay’s changes in small-time seller policies at http://www.thepoint.com/campaigns/boycott-ebay-for-fair-seller-policies if you’d be interested in joining too.

Thanks.
