Yes, it certainly does, especially with this bold move. eBay's no saint, either. Hopefully, they won't follow PayPal's lead.

PayPal spun off from eBay almost four years ago. eBay is rolling out their own payment system.

Sorry, no offense meant and I sorta implied that I'm out of the loop. I haven't used eBay in years precisely because I refuse to even touch PayPal or credit cards.
Will wait and see what they come up with and if it's any better.

I don't think you're getting it. This is bad for ALL sellers good or bad.

You could sell a $5000 scope, and if it got damaged or lost in shipment you don't get the fees back (as if it wasn't painful enough losing it). Or a buyer just wanted to return it for no good reason other than they changed their mind; same thing.

I haven't had a single return or refund for over 15 years. I've sold around 2000 items £5 to £10k in value each.

This 100% depends how you run your selling outfit.

No worries. I hoped it was unintended. Thanks.

Yeah, we'll just have to see how eBay's payment system works in reality. Although I haven't had anything that I've sold returned to me nor had to partially refund a buyer, I still don't like this concept. With all the competition that's been growing in online payments, it's very surprising that PayPal would do something like this. I guess they feel that they've got sufficient lock-in on their customers, though I'm unclear what would make them feel that way.
