Focusing Media Attention on Ebay

What does it say that these people remain and moan and complain instead becoming activists like I did back in June 2013 (and many, many members of my social media groups also have become in the past 10 months)? The minute eBay started slapping a 21-day hold on my PayPal funds in April 2013 (unjustified and illegal) I knew then I was done with them, after 14 years of selling and 4625 positive feedbacks. Within a very short time I became aware of how many more worse things they were doing to other small sellers, and since April 2013 (I stopped listing items completely on ebay in June 2013) I have watched this progressively get worse and worse. I understand everyone's life situation is vastly different, but my observation is that far too many people are far too apathetic and not sufficiently in touch with their anger and outrage. My emotions of anger and outrage towards ebay not only led to the creation of the social media groups (which now number 1,300 members in one group, 700 in the other), but have literally helped fuel a broad-spectrum movement that is more widespread online than just the Facebook groups themselves. The key to this whole thing as I have pointed out many different times is focusing media attention upon what eBay is doing (investigative journalist type expose) and/or Congressional and Senatorial focus into eBay.
