Specific response for you OP - You will probably not be able to handle it. I have read a lot, if not most, of your threads, and you have peculiar buyer related issues. This TRS status will only aggravate the situation.

What I was trying to really seek out was if theres really any negatives to getting this top rated seller plus status...an earlier thread a week or so ago one of the users on here claimed "dont become top rated plus!" and described how it pretty much destroyed his ebay business....that really threw me off a bit.
OP - If you want, you can test the water by upgrading to TRS, but only qualifying certain listings to see how it goes. If you dont get what I mean, let me know.
You know my thoughts from the other thread. Once I'm back up and running I'll gladly take the automatic 'top rated'... But I will no longer be taking their 20% bribe to jump through their hoops. Being on my schedule doing things my way was the whole point of selling for me... For those 30 days of plus I was ebays bitch, an it was a horrible feeling.
