Ebay users want Meg "raise the rates" Whitman out

Some seem willing to let eBay's Chief Executive Meg Whitman slide on recent problems, many eBay sellers are calling for a change.

From the article: "'EBay's core (auction) performance is suffering tremendously,' says Steve Grossberg, a longtime videogame seller on eBay. He says he now lists an item four times on average in order to sell it, up from two listings two years ago. Adds Andy Mowery, an eBay seller of home and garden gear: 'It is time for new leadership at eBay.'"

In other ebay news Warren Buffet is going to auction of his car on ebay.

An eBay auction would be the third this year for the 75-year-old chairman of Omaha, Nebraska-based insurance and investment company Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

In June, Buffett auctioned a steakhouse lunch for up to eight people to a Palo Alto, California investor for $620,100. In May, a Buffett-autographed ukulele went for $11,211.11
