i concurr!!! it's really unfortunate for sellers like us, who tries to do our very best to maintain ebay as safe and friendly environment for both buyers and sellers. but this new policy totally protects buyers only. for sellers, like us, who tries our very best to protect our feedback rating, such policy is just NOT FAIR!! where in fact, ebay should extend the courtesy to sellers, due to the main fact that ebay is maknig money from us, sellers, not buyers!! all fees are generated from sellers, never from buyers. for this reason alone, sellers should get some protection so to speak!!! if there are bad sellers out there, there are also BAD BUYERS lurking around!!
