surplusdealdude, you're obviously a company man/woman. I don't think someone's an anonymous troll just because they have a complaint about the policy change. I for one haven't sold on ebay since the change was made. Let's face it, eBay and PayPal got together and figured out a way to nail casual sellers in the arse, and their likely to get away with it. One of eBays original assumptions was that "People are Honest". Obviously that assumption has changed. and further eBay has proven that they are out to nail the only ones in the equation they can squeeze and keep their own failing business going. Will I lose money for walking away fro eBay? You bet I will!! I already have. But as a casual seller I had slim margins already. The only thing I had going for me was quick turnaround of the few bucks I was playing with to earn more. Now I don't have that. Honestly, they've just taken the fun out of it. It was eBay which encouraged sellers to advertise free shipping, conveniently forgetting to disclose that it would increase their fees. They knew one day they would control the entire transaction and have us all by the nards. If I've gotta get **bleep**ed like this I'll just walk away. I feel sorry for people who have come to depend on casual selling to make ends meet. I can afford not to give a hoot, so I don't.
