Good lord that's a long read. I would probably have to read it several more times to truly understand all the BS in there, but I don't have the time or patience for that.
My quick take is this, if I opt out of this program the buyer can't return the item just because they changed their mind and they don't want it anymore. If I opt in they can. At least if I opt out they have to make up some reason why they want to return the item and I might have a sporting chance to defend myself and avoid having to give a refund when I did nothing wrong. So I will opt out of this program.
All this being said, they probably will require sellers to opt in eventually. Especially if they want to keep their Top Rated Seller status.
The moral of the story is, it sure would be great if Ebay had some competition so they couldn't continue to push around us sellers. I know it would take a huge budget to truly drive enough traffic to another site, but I can still dream, right?!?!?!
