[Roadsters] OT- new ebay rules what the heck?

[Robert Keen]

Craig-
eBay has had this altered feedback policy since spring 2008.

Sometime in October they will prohibit payments with checks
and money orders for items in most categories. Sellers will
have to use paypal, or a merchant account, or something
called propay.  In many categories, eBay is setting maximum
shipping charges.

eBay users have been upset.  Check the eBay Discussion Boards
(under "Community"), especially those titled Feedback,
PayPal, and Seller Central.

The eBay we've been accustomed to has effectively died.  With
better than 1000 positive feedback notices and zero negatives,
this makes me unhappy.  It's their sandbox, however.
