Reason For Feedback Changes
The only reason eBay is changing the feedback policy is to force more sellers to accept Paypal. That's right, it's all about their shady payment service. If you read the fine print in their annoucements, you'll will see what they are pulling here. If a seller gets too many negs or even low DSR's, eBay will force that seller to accept Paypal. That's their underhanded way to snare the veteran sellers who know Paypal is not a safe payment method. First eBay forced new sellers to accept Paypal, now you have to accept it if you have less than 100 feedbacks and soon you'll have to accept it if eBay claims you're a "problem" seller. They are tying Paypal in with eBay, which is a violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. They are being sued right now over this tying arrangement. Let's hope the judge hearing the case will stop this forcing of Paypal and blocking of all of Paypal's competitors, such as Google checkout. How on earth can eBay get away with not allowing a perfectly safe and secure payment method such as Google checkout? Not right, ethical or legal, IMO.

i don't know enuff about this business to know for sure if this guys right but i do know that ebay is greedy and wants to be the only auction site and paypal site online and that they pull any post on their boards or in an auction that mentions any site other than their own. when i was there they sent me those warnings and stuff whenever i tried to tell anyone about any site other than ebay which tells me they don't want competitition and are trying to squash anyone who mentions anohter site other than ebay and even then if yu say something bad about ebay they pull that posting too and send you a bad letter for saying something they didn't like no matter what the reason
