The new policy that a seller will not get their funds released to them until the buyer receives the item is ridiculous. There are too many people out there who will receive the item but then say that something is wrong with it. Keep the item and not have to pay or get their funds released back to them. The seller will then be out of the item that they were trying to sell and the money that they were going to get. This is not a good policy for eBay. I am surprised that they decided to go to this...
