Ebay Started Autopaying On Winning Bids

[OhioLawyerF5]

I see it as good. Helps address the many issues with non-paying bidders, shilling, etc..., and has virtually no downside. Every complaint I've seen in this thread basically amounts to people not wanting to take the time to change their settings if they need an exception (e.g. use a different address, or different payment method). It's not hard to go into your settings and change those defaults BEFORE bidding. No need to worry about how long you have after the auction if you do your due dilligence before bidding. Is it slightly more inconvenient for a few buyers? Sure. Will it affect most of us? No. And will actually be more convenient for those of us who simply want our default address and credit card to be used all the time. Compare that slight inconvenience to the major benefit to the whole auction process, and you have a winning decision here.
