While differing opinions are being voiced, at the end of the day, it is up to each person to decide what the price is - buying or selling - that we will accept. This is certainly a new spin on eBay and one we should be aware of as we buy or sell there. This will affect that price and you have brought this out for us to consider. I appreciate that!</font></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">My post is, to a good degree, off your topic. Nonetheless, I find enough correlation to post my thoughts here and expand on the topic.</font></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">As I said earlier, my <b>big </b>objection to this change is not that insurance is required. That change will cause an adjustment in price that will ultimately fall on the buyer (though I see it taking some time to catch up). However, I am opposed to eBay profiting from shipping or insurance fee’s (handling fee’s I believe they (eBay) should be able to charge for as this is profit and is REGUARLY abused both on and off eBay).&nbsp; Since I generally opt for insurance when buying to avoid issues the impact to me is minimal.So again, this change is really a moot point to me. Now, my sole objection to the insurance part of this is that there have been plenty of times when I have declined insurance. If I purchase something for two or three dollars, including shipping, I am not going to waste another $1.75 to insure it. So, in that instance, this change eliminates that segment of the market for me.</font></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">My main objection is that as of today eBay is permitting abusive tactics by buyers. While I admit that there is no fool proof way to prevent this, I think eBay is not actively protecting sellers. They are affording adequate protection to buyers. In reality you can reverse most any purchase, when using PayPal. So, to that end, buyers are now being required to pay for insurance that based under their current resolution process is unnecessary. I personally see this as nothing more than a revenue stream for eBay. </font></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">IMO this change does nothing more than drive additional costs to buyers under the guise of protecting them. </font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
