This is business. Do not take it personally.
Forget about TRS, Forget about feedback. Forget about 20% rebate on FVF.
None of these things should be relevant to you. They are not that important.
As you stated, you live a hectic life and selling on eBay is not your first priority.
Based on your remote location, busy work and family life, type of products you sell (impatient crowd), you should continue towards your previously stated goal to retire from that business and sell your inventory in wholesale lot.
"I have 17 not as described case ..."
Fair or unfair?
Is that relevant to your quality of life? Just do not let these small things get to you. Keep the "big picture" in mind.

This is becoming like the Derek Jeter Farewell Tour.
It's a joke! geez
Rose, the end came for me rather suddenly 11 AM, Tuesday Oct 20th 2009. It is know within the company as "The Graceful Exit". There were casualties.
I used to think that I had value within the company, that what I did mattered, that the harder I tried the more points I would score. Did not happen that way.
No-one ever remembers the person who exits gracefully. I will be remembered for a long time. giggle-giggle
A lot of people have said to me "I wish I was you".

Yes, I know, I've made a couple of those exits myself.
One unforgettable experience comes to mind, in which I had applied and been interviewed for, a "dream job" as a representative (read: lobbyist) for a group of professional arts organizations, including symphonies, theatres and an opera company. I thought I had little chance of being hired.
My job with a law firm was going from bad to worse, until one day I simply packed up my belongings at lunch hour and left a note saying, in so many words, "Adieu to this "_______" (fill in the blank). People were watching me as I calmly walked out the big double doors with my cardboard box in hand, likely many of them wishing they could do the same. I got home and realized I was out of work for only the second time in my adult life, and the mortgage was due in two weeks. It wasn't a good feeling.
The next day I got a phone call. The arts organizations had decided to hire me. Later that year, I ran into a couple of former colleagues from the "law firm from hell" on the street, and they asked what I was doing. I gave them my card. It said "Executive Director, Pro-Art" -- and what was worse for them, I actually looked happy.
So yes, those sort of exits can sometimes lead to good things, but I think it's different when you've built up your own business and would like to feel you've retired on an upbeat note. The policy I mentioned earlier might actually help 'brande' in this regard just when he most needs it. I wish him luck, it sounds as if he's worked unbelievably hard at this and deserves a "gold watch" (from himself 
) when he leaves.
"that is easy for you to say"
???
