Title:
ALL FASTLANERS - WE NEED OUR EBAY CATEGORIES BACK

URGENT PROTEST

eBay has dumped all our rare Aussie Muscle and Classic Parts into a hotchpotch of US inspired asstard categories. You will have a better chance finding a ricer gizmo than a genuine Aussie Holden Part.


Look I know sometimes stuff is overpriced, but at least the old system gave us all a chance to assess the worth and pay what we are willing to for the parts we desperately need.

If we dont all speak together the only rare parts we are going to find is PINK FLUFFY DICE FROM HONK KONK

[url="http://forums.ebay.com.au/thread.jspa?threadID=600081165&tstart=0&mod=1202954886561"]PROTEST HERE[/url]


I implore all of you to voice your displeasure to eBay by posting on this ebay thread linked above and below because I have been assured that if enough people complain they will give us our categories back. We are NOT stupid yanks who want to sift through millions of fluffy dice listings to find rare Aussie Muscle & Classic Parts!

SOLIDARNOS!
PLEASE HELP OR ELSE WE ARE ALL THE LOSERS TO THESE YANK C**TS

That really stupid, bit rough that they change the categorys NOW.

They are probably trying to make more money for themselves. Bring

I put my 2 bobs worth in, I bought and sold Monaro parts there, but its hard to find it amongst the cheap Chinese and ricer junk. They lost me, as the boys said back to swapmeets where prices might get reasonable again after the death of greedy e-bay!!!
Cheers,
Pete.

Duzty, holden car parts is also a good one but I have found that they are a little hard to use at the moment, I cant seem to figure out if its an auction sight or a fixed price sight? I think they need to clear it up a little but well worth a look.

Agree with Sandman-Utes.. What if everyone gives up ebay for a couple of months, take a pay cut, clean out our sheds and support our local swap meets?

I agree totally, which is why I signed the petition...

But If you are going to list an item with a heading "it is a nice part" well you deserve to have reduced sales, no matter what cat you list under or what ever the item is! that's just poor marketin
