Eventually, they will shut this link down too. I am sure they have used this to monitor customer reactions to various policies and issues. I am certain they have learned enough by now on this subject to understand that providing a forum will be counter profitable soon.
If you continue to use eBay, ask buyers for cashier checks, personal checks, just hold the merchandise till paid and cleared. Make certain you make Pay Pal the reason for this. If you are a small business like me, use your credit card machine. They still have the "protection" of a credit card purchase.
Next, in your product descriptions, bash them there. Explain (briefly) what the problem is and why you are requiring this alternate payment method. As long as you don't curse or use "taggable " wording, they can't find it. Continue to use the BBB to complain, and eBay forums as well. eBay owns Pay Pal, so beating on them can't hurt either.
This isn't even a matter of needing the money to survive. The down turn has created an explosion of business of eBay, in order for many to make mortgages and electric payments. SOOOO, this is GREED and Dominance.
Stay Angry my Friends! Post soon and often!
