Ughhhh!
EbAAAAAAAAAAAY! (raises fist to the sky)
More wonderful buyer experience at the expense of the seller (unless you are a shiller or those I like to refer to now as "bid strategy buyer/shillers")
This seems like a tactic by Ebay to really thin out seller's "BBL's" (blocked bidder lists)
Whether it's weeding out a guy who perpetually likes to retract bids in auctions, or trying to weed out bidders who vicariously love to make others miserable by leaving negative feedback for every other purchase of theirs, or extorting sellers for partial refunds.
Wonder how long before this "venue"..........starts to tell me I have to use "Ebay" approved packing materials with "Ebay" approved logos and an "Ebay" approved return address label so no potential buyer is under the impression that these items are actually coming from me and not "Ebay", holder of many software patents and actual seller of nothing.
Ebay wants to be Amazon without having to actually bear the expense of storing stuff in warehouses.
Maybe I'm just being dramatic.
EBAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!
