New Competition for Card Sellers on EBAY

Effective now, the search reults pages that EBAY
sellers are paying for are "re-configured and enhanced."

Our listings are being compressed toward the center
of the pages and lots of "sponsored links" appear on
the right-side, next to our paid listings.

The sponsored links advertise products that compete
with our listings, and drive buyers off of EBAY and
into off-site card stores. Many of the links take buyers
to Beckett Marketplace vendors, many take buyers to
private websites operated by card dealers.

This new scheme is a cross-category infiltration and no
matter what we list on EBAY will now appear next to
links that shuttle buyers away from EBAY and away
from our listings.

All of my EBAY customers have passed away anyway, but
some sellers may be hurt by the latest enhancement.
