tea_past_times- THANK YOU for finally understanding.
I am certainly not the only one who finds MAJOR and ONGOING problems with PROGRAMMES one cannot OPT OUT of!
SOOOOOO many people (known affectionately here as "POWER SELLERS") do nothing but complain about what eBay is doing- AND IT WILL NEVER please everyone.
HOWEVER- when an "outsider" attempts to get eBay's attention- there is an almost 'gang like' mentality, to circle the wagons and defend the board.
While away- using a hotel business centre, I actually read someone suggesting that MOVING TOO many threads to the top was wrong- the gist being five or so would be OK. Who gives ANYONE the right to even try to dictate my behaviour, outside of eBay? Honi soi qui mal y pense!
