Message:: [QUOTE="Arizona Jack, post: 377071, member: 9308"]As a seller and a buyer, I feel communication is paramount. The buyer should pay promptly of course, but it also up to the buyer to communicate any issues thay have if they are not happy. Always give a seller a chance to correct any reasonable problem the buyer may have. Ebay has made it clear, that any buyer using the new system to hold sellers hostage, ex: asking for a partial refund instead of a return/refund, trying to negotiate shipping charges after the sale is final, etc, will not be tolerated. It is the sellers obligation to provide clear pictures and an accurate description, ship in a safe and timely manner, and charge a reasonable fee to deliver. The problem of buyers fearing retaliatory feedback are over, so we should see alot more honest feedback. The bad will sink and the good will rise. I have no problems at all with the new system. But, I tell you this, the very first time Paypal seizes my money for 21 days, I am done. DONE. Only the new sellers and non powersellers are required to accept paypal, but I do anyways because it is the fastest way to get the cash working again. 3% wont hurt. As for Ebays 10%, remember this. Most auction houses charge 15-20%, AND a buyers premium of 15%. Buyers figure the premium into the bid, so in real life, you are charged 30%. Ebay is still the best venue for most sellers and nowhere else on the planet will you get the product specific traffic.[/QUOTE]
