The eBay Outlook is over run by helpful little hands beating the key board sending
out their advice on how to deal with the new "helpful checkout" NOW MY ADVICE.
Ponder this:
In the old days when ebay was a "venue" for bringing the buyer and seller together,
we
finished our business without ebay's help.
If, one party or the other failed to do so, we had a little public whipping post called
"feedback". And, the buyer could take a few steps to say "Give me a credit the jerk
didn't pay" END THE OLD DAYS.
Now, eBay has decided to become a hand holding business partner! They will
oversee
how it is paid, when it is paid and etc. They will have "privilege to READ your
private communication between the buyer and seller etc.
Who remembers this agreement between eBay and the user:
"We are not
involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers."
Up until now eBay knew not how the buyer paid, Check, Money Order, Paypal, cash
and etc. ONLY if Bill Point was used.
NOW HELLO, get the drift.....oh where oh where does all this data go? And how
does it get sorted?
Yes there is a difference between cynical and knowledgeable.
Go ahead, fill in all the little forms, get in line and ........HAVE A GREAT DAY!
