Around 100 traders - all members of the 'shop sellers' subscription service - are angry at a rise in listing prices from 3p an item to between 3p and 11p. They're also complaining that changes made by eBay mean their items are less visible than they were.

eBay has 15 million UK customers - so it is shrugging off the effects of the 'strike'.

Spokesman Dan Wilson told the BBC:

"We are not really seeing any tangible strike action and we are not that worried about it, although I don't want to dismiss the concerns of our customers."
