A wall of text is very hard to read. Paragraphs with a space between the paragraphs really help. And more people would stop by to read what you have to share.
As a seller if you don't like the new options, you can turn them off in your Buyer Requirements. It is a TOOL that sellers can choose to use or not to use. Their decision.

It seems more people are concerned about my message structure, than the actual point. This isn't Purdue Owl, and I'm not writing a Final Essay at an Ivy League School. I will repost this topic with separated paragraphs when I get a chance. If you don't have an actual response towards the actual content, then please just move along , thanks
No, they were saying the same thing I did in the first response on this thread. Reading a wall of text is very difficult on the eyes. So many will not even attempt to read what you originally posted.
When you want to share ideas or information. It is key to posting that on a thread so that people will read it. I'm sure you have some important points, but because of the way you chose to post it, many won't ever even read it.
It isn't that any of us are more concerned with your format than what you had to say, it is the opposite. We can't or won't read what you had to say because of the format you chose to use.
No poster has the right on or in this Community to ask anyone not to post. We all have the right to post. And I guarantee we won't all agree on much of anything, but we all have the right to post what we want as long as it is civil.
@filtration8808 wrote:Understood, I get it. At some point I will edit this post. I was trying to get my thoughts out quickly. I see that you showed where you can change that option on eBay. However, like I stated in my post, I have heard that even when people change the option, that the buyer still has to select the autopayment on bids and offers.
That is debatable, because I'm not quite sure myself. My main reason for posting this, is to accumulate enough people's opinion on the actual policy. Hopefully reveal to eBay, that many people are open to switching it back, or even revamping their current procedure regarding this. I don't know where else you can go to accumulate responses, in order to reveal a clear issue to eBay.
Therefore, I posted on the eBay community chat...I'm not particularly looking for answers on how to do something on eBay. It is more an attempt to get enough people to agree that something needs to be changed, due to the issues that have risen from this new policy. I believe I brought up valid points in my post, and gave examples of the effects of this change. I figured if enough people "Agreed", that it may create a large enough voice to consider a change.
That would have been a while ago when these options were still being tested. That is not the case anymore. The test is over. Now the options are being rolled out site wide. Sorry, I did not read your post, so I don't know the details of what you wanted to share.
You can't get a majority opinion here on the threads. Not because people aren't willing to post opinion but because the majority of sellers aren't here, ever. No where near the majority of sellers are active on the forums.
Which Community Chat did you post on? What was the response? Community Chats are held once a month. The next one is next week I believe.

It is unlikely that you will get too many agreeing that these changes are bad. Sellers have asked for a way to get bidders on auctions and those that send offers that are accepted by the seller to actually pay for what they purchased. It has taken Ebay a quarter of a century to actually give sellers a tool in which they can CHOOSE to use or not. You as a seller can choose NOT to use it, it is within your control.
I don't think it is a good idea to try and take this choice away from sellers. You simply don't have the right. Sellers are perfectly capable in making their own decisions on this and that is how it should be.
You don't like it, then change your Buyer Requirements as a seller. The the issue is solved for you. But don't try to force that choice onto others that want to use the options. That is unfair!

But I'm not going to do that for reasons already stated.
Do you realize how many sellers you would have to speak with to represent a majority when there are around 7 million US sellers? As to buyers, there are around 145+ million of them.
Sellers that hate it can simply opt out of the requirements, then their buyers do not have to comply. It seems like a simple answer to me. It is MY choice whether to use the options or not as a seller.
