We have to endure these spasms of stupidity from eBay because management at eBay has an ongoing problem with strategic thinking: they want to be Amazon but there already is a company like Amazon: it is called "Amazon." Instead of trying to be an imitation Amazon, they ought to try to be eBay. There is a huge and at this point underserved population of casual sellers who would use eBay if the rules for using eBay weren't so one-sided and oppressive.


How is this going to affect all of the eBay consignment sellers? Are we going to see COMC, PWCC and Probstein move to a much later payout because of the potential for charge-backs? Who is going to 'eat' the free shipping when waves of auction-fever-related cards come flooding back 2-4 weeks after the close of an auction from bidders with buyers' remorse?
