<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2256231, member: 1892&quot;]Well, if a debate rose from your words, it was a decent one. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As a seller, I can see your point but I don&#039;t leave immediate Feedback. As a buyer, if you read my auctions - and you&#039;re the type who would - you&#039;d see my boilerplate explanation that I won&#039;t leave Feedback until I&#039;m sure you&#039;re happy with your purchase. This, of course, is irrelevant from a rules standpoint in the current regimen since I can only leave you a Positive, but I do it for psychological effect and to establish longer-term buyer relationships. Coin collectors tend to be a loyal lot. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Back to the OP. Ebay have, these last few years, fallen into the &quot;the bottom line is the only bottom line&quot; corporate mindset and have run their business based solely on P&amp;L nets. They&#039;ve jettisoned all the little things which made theirs a more solid business for its&#039; users at the cost of a bit of profit. This policy is now coming back to bite them from both a legal and a P&amp;L standpoint. Amazon is plenty big enough these days to fill the void if Ebay vaporizes....</p><p><br /></p><p>Better for Ebay to just answer the bell and count security as a cost of business. Wring a few more microcents out of each transaction, create an appropriate reaction group (their own former Community Coin Watch is a perfect model), and make it uncomfortable for sellers of counterfeits in all categories. That&#039;s how they&#039;ll best serve the needs of folks like the OP, who represent the demographic most important to their long-term success.</p><p><br /></p><p>But when you stare only at P&amp;L, you can&#039;t see the long term. I hope they turn their gaze.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
