Martin and Simon, To ensure that this thread keeps within list rules and talks "strictly" about access issues (smile) I can confirm that as someone who has traded for many years on EBay (as mike_at_new_perspectives) they are hopeless at customer service, especially hopeless at getting access issues and unresponsive about their appallingly laid-out and designed website (from a screenreader user's perspective anyway). If you do launch a petition let me know and I will do my best to spread the word and help. US operators trading in the UK still have to comply with UK laws and for that matter US laws too if they trade and are based there. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is if anything stronger than the Equality Act, so let's not give up on making EBay take notice, as Visually Impaired People have had a number of important legal victories using that Act.
