I just really hope that this is the year I can FINALLY resign at my voluntary job with Canada Post.........

Postage is going up each year... and will most likely ( or will definitely) keep going up each year.
The perception by many US and other International buyers is that postage is high and not appropriate....Yet Canadian sellers are not overcharging.
Non-Canadian buyers might give a low rating... not necessarily a 1 or 2..... due to a perception of high shipping cost.... (but not excessive)
Canadian sellers need some form of protection with respect to the high cost of shipping.... as perceived by buyers
Not sure about that. US rates are way behind their costs. The spectre of American rates going up to what the market is would negate the need for a Cdn "exemption.
There was the .com survey about seller rating changes that floated around last fall. Buyers that leave ratings is dropping like a rock. DSR and FB is no longer representative of seller performance. Too many sellers are begging for pos FB and high DSRs, Too many are buying it.

Hint of a seller update to come soon???

It was posted last Thursday...
Aha! I think it's more than a hint, 'poco'. It looks like Kalvin is getting ready in advance for the expected onslaught. I hope that doesn't mean even more drastic and controversial changes.
I am beginning to dread the SSU's. It took me 7 months to get over the last one.

I still have a ton of pictures to take and photo editing to do to get good photos in the correct size. And I received a complaint recently that one of my "minimum" sized photos was too large!

Hmmm....Looks the same to me. I have no idea what HTML was removed.
I expect the official change to Stores, not exactly sure what that means but I expect mostly cosmetic.
I also expect some changes to Feedback, don't know what and don't really care.
Beyond that probably some smoke and mirrors that are essentially meaningless.
I do not expect any changes to basic fees (but I could be wrong on that).
The announcement will probably come out on March 18th and go into effect in mid-May.
