It's their business and how many sellers/buyers offer suggestions, ideas, etc will make no difference. 

Kind of reminds me that when a website is running perfectly well, there just has to be a new intake of whizz kids come onto to the block and decide to have an unnecessary revamp. High fives all round I bet for yet another nonsense idea that's adopted.

eBay will only reconsider things when it affects their bottom line. So whilst they've got sellers and buyers albeit maybe a fewer than yesterday it will take a time for their decisions to filter down to the bottom line. Should that take a 'hit' then it will be hard work for them to persuade folks to return. Just my $0.02 worth.
