It's not like they are only asking a specific long-time customer for financial info. :doh:

All true, but I can see how it can be taken personally too. So I see Steve's (Hi Steve) point. Been there, done that many times. But it really isn't personal. Kind of like a guy cutting you off in traffic. Be pissed sure, but it wasn't personal.
I don't know if it's the case, but some of this could be that Ebay owns Goldin Auctions now, as of May 2024.
After maneuvering through many hours of trying to get set up as a vendor for them, I told them I didn't want to do it. I would rather lose a good customer, whom I enjoy dealing with, than take anymore of that pain. It was that crazy. The shit to equity ratio just wasn't worth it. Then they got someone in management and worked out a solution. But it was quite mentally painful.
And this was in the last 6 months. So, it could be that this is Ebay's norm? I don't know for a fact, by any means. It's just a guess base on what I just went through.
What a great first HUGE vintage auction they had. Can't wait for the next. one. How can they top it? (for a different thread)
