Yes Lou, I am.

I'm not prepared to be the puppet at the end of eBay's strings any longer.  

As you are aware I sell pottery.  I send something, gets to where it should in one piece.  Glowing feedback re packaging etc.  A couple of months down the track, that piece of pottery is knocked off the coffee table or wherever.  The item is definitely not as described any more.  

I do not intend to have the proverbial s-fight with eBay to defend my position. 

IMO my buyers wouldn't go down that track - but I have no intention of leaving my rear end exposed in case one did.  

I believe that eBay have made a serious error in imposing this new policy.  As I said on another thread a short time ago :  One thing that hasn't been picked up on (at least I don't think it has).

With eBay issuing its ultimatum via its Money Back Guarantee Policy, that the buyer can keep their goods and get a refund for item AND POSTAGE from the seller -  but the seller hasn't banked the postage in their account - it's been paid over to Aust Post/courier.  

So eBay in its 'wisdom' ensures that the seller loses a lot more than they sold.  Item worth (say) $50.00.  Postage (say) $15.00. Seller is out of pocket the item, the sale amount of the item, plus another $15.00 on top of that.  And of course, the FVF's and PayPal fees the seller has also incurred.  

It certainly will be pretty expensive to sell on eBay come November.

Tell me, who, of all the small sellers, store owners, all the honest sellers on eBay, can afford to have that sort of axe having over their heads.  That's a definite not me!!!
