Well the Affordable Art shop has closed and the lease given back to the greedy landlord.
Having the opportunity to say why was most enjoyable and here is the text for your amusement
Which reason did you decide to close your eBay Store
========================================
The way you have treated the store sellers has been appalling. Despite protests you have failed to listen to sellers who are your customers, the buyers are OUR customers not eBays. Your failure to deal with the rampant fraud, scams, feedback rigging with 1p ebooks, does you no credit at all. As you have refused to listen you will continue to lose out. You have forgotten that the sellers were also buyers, who will now buy elsewhere. The place needs a thorough shakeup, and establishing something of the values that were present at its inception. The uneven playing field between countries is unacceptable in modern e commerce.
Are there any changes or improvements that we can make to eBay Stores that would encourage you to re-open your Store?
==============================================
Start listening and paying attention to what sellers tell you. If you haven't grasped anything from your Forums over the past few months, assuming you left the posts there long enough to read them, then you really do not deserve to remain in business.
