eBay seller strike causes 3% decline in listings

The 5 day eBay boycott by sellers has reportedly reduced eBay’s listings by 3%, from 14.5 million to 14 million.
Whether this dip in listings is directly because of striking sellers and the eBay boycott or whether it is just seasonal is just speculation. But eBay has certainly upset some regular sellers and PowerSellers who have mentioned they are unlikely to return to sell on eBay - turning to alternative auction websites like eBid or uBid or classifieds like Craigslist and Loot to sell stuff on.
