I don't think this is indicative on how well ebay is doing, it is more like a seller who has gone insane with providing 30 times the amount of information that is necessary. How about 75 cents shipping for US addresses, foreign $2.50 or something like that? This guy may lose bids with such verbage...

Man! That is a serious load of terms. Even if I wanted that thing, I'd never bother reading all that.
The stereotypical stamp collector is a nit-picking insanely detail-oriented type. This auction confirms it. Either that or the seller must be a lawyer!
But then again, he has over 1400 feedbacks, so he must be selling stuff. I don't know anything about stamps, maybe he gets lots of nutcase bidders?

edit: Actually after rereading the entire page, it isn't that bad...
He has everything laid out and the actual TOS is not much longer than others... however I don't mind reading.
Others may get discouraged

Watch what you say he just might be one of us. He must be doing something right because with only 1300 feedbacks he is a power seller.

I dunno...Works for that seller and it worked for me before too......Tons of non sense SELLS, I know it does, I just burned out on it,,,,,PULL up my boot straps and Do It again.

I didn't know Ebay wasn't well but if it isn't, I am sure this type of listing has nothing to do with it! Consider the phallic carrot..the ghost in a jar..the jock socks...the Rolex watch/diamond ring debacle..the bogus Beanie Babies...
A seller who might be a little verbose (albeit thourough) in his/her TOS is NOT a bad seller, his feedback indicates his merchandise is good and delivery is prompt and well packaged. Seems to me this is a seller who helps make eBay work!
