I don't think we really disagree, but maybe I'm more understanding than you
are :-)

I was mainly responding to Flic's statement "Think of all the sellers who
sell over a thousand items a day, they may not have time to send something
so unnecesary. (sic)" If they can spend the time listing those items, then
they should be able to spend the time acknowledging receipt of payment,
particularly since there is software that will do it automatically.

: Frankly, I think eBay has it backwards. They should honor powerbuyers ;)

Totally agree since I do much more buying than selling :-)
