It is not fun anymore. To many rules and regulations. The DSR stars was the worst move. It takes the sellers to generate money and if things keep going the way they are there just might not be any sellers. They will start to look for other places to sell their goods. To make paypal the only method of payment is not fair. I know plenty of people that don't have a bank account. Banks are not safe like they use to be. Keep it simple. Don't bog us down.

People are taking their money out of banks! People trust their government less and less with each bailout and no disclosure or transparency. In these uncertain times it is ridiculous to go to paperless payments. This whole "disruptive innovation" being imposed on eBay is perhaps the stupidest move I have ever seen.

While I think the Customs disclaimers required are wise anyway, a bit of common sense will say that the customer will not usually mention Customs delays explicitly enough to qualify a seller for relief! A buyer in Italy, about the worst destination on the face of the earth, won't necessarily know the package spent 3 or its 4 weeks moldering in Customs, but will simply note it was slow to arrive, or kick the heck out of our DSR whipping, oops, I meant shipping, stars. What we need is for ebay to finally do the right thing here. That is, give automatic 5 star shipping cost ratings for FREE or capped shipping (almost like half.com), and base the Shipping Time DSR star on the time between payment and proof of dispatch (Customs or tracking number active). That's all the seller can control. Unless ebay's motives for the DSR stars is somethig else entirely, like winnowing small sellers out. While management denies this motive, their actions speak louder. The announcement on feedback relief for international sellers is completely empty of meaning.

Or do you think that they do, or that they will in the future? ozzie3 Now why should so much emphasis be placed on “return policies” , when PayPal does not pay any attention to the return policy when a dispute is filed?

My business only accepts Money Orders and Checks. It's The ONLY Fraud - Proof way to do business. And with the Economy going into a Tail Spin, Credit Cards are no good. As a Patriot, I won't allow my fellow American to dig their Credit trench Deeper. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. BONANZLE. Paperless payments aren’t worth the hassle.
