Inseam item specifics has been glitched for weeks!

Ebay updated inseam for pants and jeans with the addition of "in" for inches in the specifics so now the majority of jeans listed are in the "unspecified" category which is probably affecting everyone's sales. For many jeans when trying to slim down ...

Did anyone else decide to no longer accept returns because of Paypal's new policy?

ebay randomly puts Best Offers on my Buy It Now listings and sets the best offer price. I have called three times asking them to stop this. I don't think it is good policy to do such a thing. If I wanted to accept best offers I would add them myself....

Insertion Fees: Less than 50 per month and still getting charged
