Just a note to add to #10:  Ebay has said that it is going to look at allegations of bad behavior more closely (whereas before they did pretty much nothing), yet how can they do that with fewer employees?  

As far as I can see, Ebay is saying everything it can to try to appease people who are concerned that these changes will make Ebay LESS SAFE for buyers and sellers.  Yet, their actions speak louder than words.  This is why BOTH BUYERS AND SELLERS (many but certainly not all) have decreased activity on the site. 

The problem is in the structure, really.  If Ebay kicks off the abusers, they will lose the fees from the sales from the sellers and from the increased bids of the buyers.  So only if people refuse to use the site because of the lack of security will they do anything about it.
