What gets my goat is that a lot of the new requirements are based around adding tracking information. I ship my items in letters, so this is particularly annoying because I know I'll be losing my TRS statuses across the board :( | I feel your pain.
I ship my items without tracking too as the items are not very high cost (still a few dollars in product cost price) and the cost of tracking is not worth it.
If the buyer says he did not receive the item, I just resend a new one or even refund if they ask for it.
I read in "The Online Seller" that some people are rallying for a 3-day seller boycott from 26-28 April against the new policies.
However, there was such a boycott when they made the policy of being unable to leave buyers negative feedback and it did nothing to stop eB.
eB is a big and arrogant shark and they don't care if they lose 30% of sellers.
It only takes one big competitor to beat them and its game over for them.
They have their lucky stars to count that such a competitor has not come up yet, but really, it's only a matter of time.
They are going to run out of luck one day if that's what their business is based on instead of ethics and good customer service.
