Eraser icon missing when listing photos

Do we need a white background for Google? No.

Apparently Google no longer insists on white backgrounds for ebay submissions. I think that's been the case for a while now, but ebay has (more or less) officially stated that the Google policy does not require white backgrounds anymore. From today's...

Not Recognized Chargeback Auto Seller Protection.

I've seen some threads that you have to do certain things, Accept or Dispute. Were people aware that these chargebacks don't ask for ANYTHING. If you did what you are supposed to you just get a message from eBay that you are covered and there is noth...
