Ebay sellers plan a weeklong strike to protest changes to the site’s fee, search and feedback policies.

(FORTUNE Small Business) — Activists opposed to eBay’s (EBAY, Fortune 500) upcoming fee and policy changes are readying for a weeklong site boycott starting on Monday, with buyers and sellers waiting to see if this strike will succeed where past protests have failed.

The boycott, planned to run Feb. 19 – 25, is scheduled to overlap eBay’s Feb. 20 rollout of significant changes announced last month.

Sellers say eBay’s new policies are likely to cost them more money, but what’s really inspired an outpouring of wrath is an adjustment to eBay’s feedback system: sellers will no longer be able to leave negative commentary about their buyers. Critics say that will leave sellers vulnerable to negligent bidders and scammers.
