marsu450- I simply meant that when a seller commits such an egregious act- like refusing to deliver to a CONFIRMED ADDRESS, there is some recourse. NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
As a seller I do not have the luxury of leaving that NEGATIVE FEEDBACK for a buyer. I am not permitted to say anything remotely negative about a buyer in the feedback forum. So, when things go wrong, you end up hoping for the best (regarding feedback that the buyer can leave). No matter how outrageous the buyer's demands may be we cannot retaliate through feedback, so BLOCKING them from any future bidding, is about the best eBay offers.
It is absolutely a BUYER's market on eBay- and some SELLER aggression is likely showing itself through frustrated SELLER's becoming very picky buyers! SELLER's understand the rules (or should), and are the best to hold other sellers more accountable. If we have to follow the rules- we should expect other sellers to follow the rules.
So, when another seller attempts something, when we are the buyer, we are likely the best educated, and most articulate, to keep them accountable.
