I’m not sure I have a strong opinion either way. I see arguments on both sides. And with eBay, you never know what they’re thinking. So anything is possible.
Yes, we've had good conversations on this before over the last two years, and there are plenty of members who still have new insights to share.

It's pretty easy to know what Ebay was thinking when they started this program, and easy to see it has been successful for them so far. They had a big problem with fraud on both the buyer and seller side that they needed to fix. It was costing them a lot of money in settlement expenses on disputed transactions, and also they were losing peoples' trust in their platform.

Ebay is most certainly aware that people don't like paying 15% transaction fees plus sales taxes. They are not thinking about ways to increase those fees.

I apologize to all of you who have heard all this before from me.
