Just got back from the cabin in BC - been there since end of May. It is finally almost finished so next year I can concentrate on fishing. trouble is that now I am just about to old to enjoy it.

Anyway - just about to start listing again - anything new or exciting on eBay that I should know about.

Welcome back. I hope that you had a good summer. 

You should probably read the fall update.

Some big changes:

PayPal 45 day limit for claims has been changed to 180 days.

eBay is going to a seller pays for return shipping for SNAD claims.

PayPal is being spun off from eBay over the next year or so.

Thanks and ouch:

I really don't like the seller has to pay the return shipping -  so a buyer can purchase an item and really return it for any reason using the Not as Described reason.

It also seems to me that 180 days for a claim is way over the top.

I guess these topics have been discussed - it will look them up.

How is the Defect Rate thing going? I can't believe the thread I started earlier in the year has over 11 pages of comment - It will take me a while to read it.

eBay and Paypal will be split into two corporations  ...in  about one year from now.

eBay will get a new CEO....  Good-bye Donahoe

Look up Alibaba....   a new internet selling option... but very restrictive as to what  can be sold there.... so far

Alibaba is based in mainland China. There was a two hour special on it on TV about a month ago - very interesting. As I remember they actually drove eBay out of China.
