[Milsurplus] eBay does it

[John Hutchins]

All -
As one person on this list duly noted;  when I complained about 
GOVL......ATION placing a $150.00 minimum bid on any lot,
get on board with it, or opt out, or do some thing about it.

I googled "petition ebay"  found these 2 sites;
http://www.petitiononline.com/ebayau/petition.html 13,815 Total Signatures!
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/ebay-buyers-concerned-re-feedback-changes 
only 2,803 signatures 
<http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/ebay-buyers-concerned-re-feedback-changes#signatures>
Who starts the petition?

Just off the wire, Auction News : Band of eBay Sellers Petition Google 
to Open Auction Site
