They are very quick online forms. Its EASY, but it needs to be done every. single. time.

I agree with your friend.

AND we have way tooo many posters encouraging others to try and dodge bullets through giving silly, risky advice or posting stuff like "its their rules ... suck it up".

if every single seller that identifies an issue with unfair trading practices filed a complaint - with clear detail and tangible examples - of misuse of market power, the ACCC would then be compelled to act.

As it is now, the boards frequently serve to hose down irate sellers by mocking and p* poor advice.
