eBay has done it again, and this move is so moronic that, if not modified, will surely send sellers in droves from the site.
It is some new lame idea called Item Not Received, and in a nutshell it lets buyers file a claim against the seller 7 days after the auction, whether or not they have even paid!
Go to http://forums.ebay.com/db2/thread.jsp?forum=143&thread=410367173&start=0&msRange=40 to read about it.
THIS IS ABSOLUTE PROOF THE INMATES ARE RUNNING THE ASYLUM AT EBAY!
I posted the following on the eBay discussion board:
I have sold 150,000 items on eBay for over 8 million dollars, and this "Item Not Received" is eBay's lamest idea yet, and that is saying a lot! I send 99% of my orders within 3 business days, and now I will be wasting lots of time and money dealing with noodle-headed buyers who complain after 7 days (no matter how much eBay wants to believe this is not the case).
I pretty much have one foot out the door as far as selling somewhere else goes. This awful move might just be the final straw.
eBay HAS reversed a very few of their worst "improvements" over the years, and this seems like it has a great chance of being quietly dropped, especially after it is in place for a while and we start seeing an exodus of sellers.
