It's the Fruity & Friends Show If you don't laugh, you'll cry! We just get a few people together as friends and talk about what we're seeing. Laugh, cry, yell, poke fun. I set this up because I didn't feel end users and my small seller friends views were being represented. Plus excessive change and stress levels are at an all-time high. This way it's therapeutic, you just get it off your chest and feel like you are not alone. Uncensored, unscripted. You don't have to deal with canned speak or some poop polished hired blogger who ain't never bought or sold around here to tell you what's going on, lol. Anyone can get your own free talk radio show and broadcast yourself! If you have any suggestions on topics feel free to comment or message me through the radio system

Ebay is stepping up their marketing to enlist sellers to speak out on ONLY topics that affect EBAY REGULATION. They sent out a message titled

I read today that the USPS went to the Senate to ask them to change the law on the books that required them to deliver mail 6 days a week, so they could stop delivery on a day. Because the post office is BROKE they want to penalize all Americans. You know, sure who wants to see the bill on Saturday, right? But the postal service is not really up to par with competitors like UPS, Fedex and DHL in as far as they will work with volume shippers and give them discounted rates. You know what the USPS did? They partnered with Ebay years ago so ebay could have their boxes branded with the postal service. Who paid for THAT! And Ebay knows all those half a million plus small businesses are using or were using PAYPAL to ship their products. But the postal service wont' budge an inch to offer discounts to those smal businesses. Maybe the Senators need to ask USPS what business contract they have with PAYPAL & paypal, whether they are giving Paypal a deep volume discount which is more than realistic is happening. But does Ebay/Paypal give it to the sellers who are shipping? No, they don't! And what happens, small businesses are taking their business to Fedex and UPS and DHL because they will WORK WITH THE SMALL BUSINESSES. I think that we are starting to see just how much of an impact the small businesses on the internet engaging in ecommerce affects our economy. I am really upset that the postal service is even considering cutting out a single day. Ebay puts us up against the wall with these shipping times. So its critical that shipping happen right away. You know I find it very strange that just prior to this being announced, ebay started sending surveys to some of their sellers asking about whether we would do fulfillment center shipping. What that means is that we ship all our products to these centers & ebay does the shipping. That would allow them to get corporate deep discounts which means basically it costs NOTHING to ship. That just means there will be even MORE lost to the post office. Maybe the post office was too dependent on "eBay" sending them business that they're now seeing ebay might be looking elsewhere and now crawling to Capitol Hill for basically a get out of jail card. This will also cause them to have to lay off postal workers, who are already up against the wall. My post man of 12 years, who was in his 60s. Always happy, always there, always reliable. He got laid off because of consolidation. They laid off a clerk because now they have the self serve postage machines. Why is it ALWAYS tolerable to EXPENSE and DISPOSE of PEOPLE before looking at ways to cut unnecessary expenses. US Postmaster General John E. Potter "Faced with dwindling mail volume and rising costs, the post office was $2.8 billion in the red last year. "If current trends continue, we could experience a net loss of $6 billion or more this fiscal year," Senator Susan Collins expressed concerns over the Post Offices' claim. She issued a statement today via the GL & Governmental Affairs website http://hsgac.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?Fuseaction=PressReleases.Home&Affiliation=R You know what I think? I think that this year is the reckoning. Where the thrown in the basement small businesses sellers on the internet are gonna be heard by our Government. We told you and no one listened to us then. We told you about the need to regulate, we told you about unregulated financial banking / financial services. We may have an even great affect than the Auto Industry. 724,000 businesses at one point selling most or all to get their earnings. Factor in the casual sellers, we are talking easily a MILLION SMALL BUSINESSES WHO COULD OF BEEN SHIPPING BILLIONS OF USPS PACKAGES Look at this quote you turkeys! From the same Potter guy who is all over the Senate committee. Quoted by the New York Times in 2006 EBay shippers, said Mr. Potter in a recent interview, have accounted for more than $1 billion worth of postage since the Postal Service started working with the company in 2004. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/02/business/02postal.html Oh yeah, he's quoted all over even ebays investor relations page. 724,000 Americans selling online. You think that doesn't have an impact? http://investor.ebay.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=170073

H.R. 1 - American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 has passed the house today and it was riddled in pork ridden fat in my opinion. Included questionable highlights are: $335 million STD education $650 million Digital TV Coupons $50 million National Endowment for the Arts Democrat Congressman David Obey, Chairman of the Appropriations Committee on the House Floor today said "People ask well what does funding for the arts have anything to do with jobs? It's very simple, people in the arts field are losing their jobs like anybody else." I don't have a problem with them getting money but you know, it shouldn't have been in this bill. Do you know with $50 million dollars you can give that to the SBA to lend small dollar amount loans or grants to sole proprietorship small businesses. There are literally thousands of businesses who make too much to qualify for some of the plans in this stimulus package. Of course if they just shut down their business, then they can probably get some food stamps and other assistance. But what is wrong with giving people a hand up instead of a handout? I can guarantee you that you would stimulate the economy much more if you focused on those types of small business owners The bill or package they were talking about in the house was about 674 pages, I don't know where to locate the one that was agreed upon, but I found this link and hoping it has the key points to it. Once you're on that page, look for the "full bill text" link and that will open it up http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h1/show I'll be running my radio show this Saturday. I hope you will join me on sharing your thoughts about how you as a small business or working class citizen feels about this plan. If you are one of the have nots, this show will be for you. Thank you! ps. I'm really upset at how the Democrats carried themselves during this supposedly bi partisan planning session. I feel let down, lied to by some of the democrats but even worse? I think they are making our President Obama look bad and I'm not happy with that. This was a time for everyone to come together and work for the people. I'm putting David Obey on my kitty litter list. He is one of them that is not a team player and he contributes to the peoples perception that Congress is not about CHANGE

On 8/20 ebay announced fee and format changes. THey opened up a new msg board to "discuss" http://workshops.ebay.com/forum.jspa?forumID=14000000003 They have spent most of today censoring people and giving them moderation infractions. For ASKING QUESTIONS. Since there is no open forum to ask ebay staff, they just delete what they want and slap who they feel they can, I'm broadcasting straight through this weekend. You got something to say, call in

Seems like we're being hit back and forth & cant get clarify. What is going to happen to the value of ebay stores tiers? Sellers are getting pinkslapped by the moderators. They are not providing an outlet for us to ask questions. Apparenly only ask questions THEY want to hear
