gotta love ebay

The other thing is, no-one anywhere in the world is forced to use eBay, so if it's that much of an issue for them, why do they keep using it? They speak like someone is holding a gun to their head to use eBay, then it's all eVay's fault when something goes wrong (for them).
On the flip side, finding out (be it through lack of diligence, observation when listing and reading the little note about fees, not using the site to sell for several months and not expecting anything to have changed much...etc) is bound to be a rude shock.
"You should have known since May already, so what are you complaining about" doesn't address anything except the annoyance some people feel that people are still finding out - and talking - about it. Sure, you can chastise people because they didn't know something others did as early as others did, but I honestly believe doing so over timing of learning is counter-productive (sorry 
People talk like they don't have any viable alternatives because there are few viable alternatives to using eBay, members of this forum often say just that, as well, and that makes a rude shock like this sting a bit more. Personally, I take issue with much of eBay's decisions, disagree with a lot of them, and quite enjoy discussing my opinion on those things (hence my presence here 
), but by virtue of my presence here, it can then be a given that just because I disagree with something and am prepared to say so, it doesn't mean I'm not prepared to accept it anyway. 😉
