While I will admit that I buy and sell on eBay, that "Bay" company is interested in just one thing... to fatten their corporate pockets and don't give a hoot about anyone, buyer and/or seller. So, we have to make the decision: go by their rules, or not buy/sell. Unfortunate but true...

Well said and accurately portrayed Harry! I've sold on eBay since 1998 and have never seen buyers this pushy. I've got one very lengthy Blocked Buyers List - and many have made it there to prevent them from purchasing an item after a stupid or off-the-wall question.
Example: Is this manual for the 330E Mercedes Coupe or anything close to it? This question was asked about a binder of Panasonic manuals for RS-series tape decks!! Buyer blocked.... eBay's slant toward the buyer is continuing. Monthly fees for an eBay store went up - either fork over 300% more for a store fee or pay 800% higher listing fees starting in April. Cheapest method still results in an almost 300% increase in fees for an eBay store. Many sellers use the store to save on listing fees - over 500 items, and it pays to use the store format. Since early 2009, store listings haven't been in the regular search results. Seems eBay wants to go back to auction-only listings. Want to really know the "mood" among eBay sellers? Poke around on the Answer Center boards. Lots of great info (watch out for the ill-informed) and lessons learned. Somebody here said it in an earlier post - Caveat Emptor, and doubly so on the 'bay. Cheers,
