			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="caption alignright" style="width:493px"><img src="http://shoestringtheory.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/ebayboy5.jpg" alt="Boycott stats" /><br />More stats from PowerSellers Unite.</div>
<p>eBay listings increased again today, putting them equal to (or even slightly above) where they were earlier this month.  Statistics are again from <a href="http://www.powersellersunite.com">PowerSellers Unite</a>.  You can visit them to see the <a href="http://www.powersellersunite.com/auctionsitewatch.php">current volume</a> versus the same time on the previous day at their site anytime. </p>
<p>Total listings increased 204,069 over the same time yesterday, or a 1.52 percent increase. In the chart at the bottom of this post, you can see the trend for the month of February up through today.  There was a big spike on the 20 cent list day, followed by a plunge one week later, as one would expect.  With only a day left, it seems unlikely that the boycott is having much of an effect.  </p>
<p>Wired ran a <a href="http://blog.wired.com/business/2008/02/ebay-artificial.html">piece</a> on the boycott yesterday.  I can&#8217;t help but suggest you read through some of the comments on the article to see the paranoia and vitriol eBay elicits.</p>
