I am not sure why you believe the policy that applies to ALL new sellers, and sellers who have not sold in some time should exclude you?

You agreed to the terms when you listed the item

No, I do not work for eBay

I just happen to dislike the attitude 'those rules don't apply to me' 

Please, by all means warn people that they will not get special treatment because of how long they have been a member, who how much they sold years ago

Are your 'friends and family' aware you have decided they will be closing their accounts too?

eBay will not have a clue if you close your accounts, and will not care

YOU ticked you had read and understood 

Yes, eBay cs DO read from scripts

As it happens, on time it happens to be factual information you were read

You've posted under 'community feedback'

Nobody from eBay reads here

Most members are very well aware on the holds on funds, that have been in place for years
