Re: New ebay policies: WTF?!

My problem is that I sell a lot of quite outlandish toy items on ebay, these
are the types of items a buyer could easily get buyers remorse over for
paying much more than what they are actually worth. I sell without paypal
and I refuse to use paypal, although I have well over 100 feedback so that
should not affect me. I do just fine selling without paypal and sometimes I
even get more money than other people who have paypal auctions listed for
the same thing get. I cannot take paypal because all it takes is one buyer
to have remorse and then they want the item for free and will do everything
to try and scam you, they will say it was not packed well, it was damaged in
shipping or other things, and I have never had an item damaged in shipping.
Remember people paypal always sides with the buyer and rarely with the
seller, so as a seller you have basically no chance if someone files a
dispute and they can do that for basically any reason they choose.

I am not scared because I am an honest seller who describes everything to a
tee however you can still get problems just because someone wants something
for free and is out to scam you. There is an abhorrant amount of scammers
on ebay.
