Census: are you in or out now?

I would love to do a census on eBay members and their one word answer for this catastrophic feebay debacle. 
So my question is

“Are you leaving or staying”

PLEASE only write

LEAVING

or

STAYING

**DO NOT WRITE ANY COMMENTS ON THIS THREAD AS I AN ONLY INTERESTED IN THE ONE WORD!! **

So, to clarify, write:

LEAVING

STAYING 

 

Thank you and I will kick off with 

LEAVING.

Sorry to immediately break your first request!!    but.....

 

 There's quite a lot who will be staying just to read the boards and see how it all unfolds.

But they won't be selling/buying, so from that point of view, they're *kind of* leaving.....

 

I think you're asking the wrong question.

On surveys, people are 90% of the time negative … expect a lot of leaving votes

What would you summise  to be the right question?

If you can pose a better question then I will answer yours. 
I literally just wanted numbers of leavers or stayers- simple as that but it’s already been made something else by people not playing the game and adding comments!!

@elabam-42 

Then if you want to attempt a simple no comment thread just ask for a thumbs up on the first post for one option.

But you’ll get comments whatever you do.

Third option - I'm boycotting until eBay sorts it out.

It's NOT as simple as that - add BOYCOTTING to your question.

Boycotting - buying

Temporarily for possibly up to (6 months) I don't expect to be selling anything on Ebay - as I think (from everything I have seen and read) about this tragic decision shall cause Ebay to have to make certain changes to get Mandatory Simple Delivery working to it's fullest potential and iron out the problems it most certainly has in it's present state. It's in no way Simple to me, as what I call 'Simple' is parcelling up a sold Ebay item and taking it to my local Post Office which I pass by each day when I go to work anyway - and when I take it there, then they (the paid Professionals) do all the work for me, which they get paid to do. That welcomed service they provide cannot be more simpler, but yet Ebay-UK powers-that-be think otherwise - even though it's been welcomed by Ebay for 30 years since it's creation.

'We The UK' citizens are basically being treated as Human Guinea Pigs for being the very first country to be placed in this unpleasant decision - whilst the rest of the world watches - as they are the lucky ones (so far).

Maybe they did this not necessarily out of Spite, but to just see how the British would react to this, and to test it out like the Guinea Pigs they chose to treat us as, as after all, Private Sellers pay no sellers fees, so it's not like they'll lose too much if it all goes pear-shaped, which I think it has already - especially if you are like myself and have only ever used the Post Office to post parcels through Ebay for the last 22 years, which I NEVER thought Ebay would ever change.

I am sorry I cannot simply say a LEAVING or STAYING answer as you requested in this thread for both a Seller and Buyer, as that would be a Permanent answer, and I think even when people commit to either of those answers, then maybe they'll change their mind in the future - for one reason or another. But as for myself as a Buyer on Ebay, that I can safely say shall I shall be STAYING, as Ebay is still great for Buying, and I suspect it always shall be - no matter what future changes Ebay makes. For anyone to Boycott it would only hurt ourselves.

MONITORING - I have somewhat adapted to the BPF & delayed pay outs (caused by ebay's greed) but the change tomorrow to mandatory simple delivery (more greed) may be the end of my selling on ebay, so I am currently monitoring to see what happens to my listings tomorrow.

Great reply and exactly my thoughts too .....

Staying - so far it appears the items I had for sale can still be sold through the old postage system.

 

Leaving if that doesn't remain the case.

 

Monitoring regarding listing the stuff I have left to get rid of from my collection.
