Default A new SRA petition

Hi guys! I created a new petition that's sort of a cousin of Su's AH
petition... I'm trying to convince eBay to rename the Handmade
LampworkUS category to Handmade LampworkSelf-Representing Artists. I
think that if we can get 1000 signatures, eBay will listen!

Here's the link:

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/293131874

(I made a typo in the President's name. It's ridiculous, but I figure
that in the long run it's pretty insignificant)

Well written, concise and to the point.

And getting signatures like a snowball rolling down the hill.

I'll put the link up as many places as I can too. Great job!

Kalera-- although it is a good idea -- but limits the category
unnecessarily -
US LAMPWORK should be US lampwork (i.e. not Chinese.... lol)

What happens if say someone like Beki decides to re-sell the lampwork
she has purchased from a US lampworker, but decides she doesn't want to
keep ? She can't say she is a SRA - but it is US lampwork.....
where does she list then???

Over 300 signatures now. Almost a third of the way there in a day!

I suppose the answer to that problem would be to allow a flag (like our "Ad"
flag here) for "Resale".

Good deal, I have signed too. I think that the people you're trying to
separate from in Ebay have shown a willingness to misrepresent
themselves and their items so I'm not sure the restructuring would help
that but maybe it will give Ebay the message that people care about it,
maybe motivate them to do something when people misrepresent
themselves.
