Well I for one don't take a peverse delight in Ebays so-called decline.

But I don't either. Things must change as all things must change. Its only if it stands still will it fail. I've always said ebay will continue in one form or another - and i hope it does - but I do think they've lost their way a bit at the moment. I hope they get back on track

And just why one word has been edited out of my post, really, all I referred to was the general body of free Roman citizens who were not patricians as determined by the census. Shopkeepers, crafts people, and skilled or unskilled workers might be plebeian(the Latin plebeius). Ignorant bots.
