Online Sellers Survey

As I've discussed, this week is the eBay boycott. It's even being reported on NPR that a number of sellers are leaving eBay this week.

According to the story I heard in the shower yesterday, eBay announced that there was not demonstrative impact to the number of weekly listings it usually has. A more interesting source of eBay listing deletions that has been published is the use of the Verified Rights Ownership (VeRO) program at eBay by the Church of Scientology to delete listings for the re-sale of e-Meters. The program exists to allow Intellectual Property Owners to delete listings of black-market goods.

The truth of the Church's actions notwithstanding, I decided to try to gauge satisfaction among online sellers, and their current and future use of new online auction tools and payment systems.

The survey can be found here.
