Solution for rogue buyers

[xelarisalex]

Why not set a specific rule for casual sellers - eg print in bold capital letters - this deal isn't covered by Ebay/PayPal protection - buy here at your own peril or check power sellers (where Ebay protects you)...

Please don't come with comments like rules are rules Ebay is perfect as it is...the truth is Ebay keeps changing - I've been using for ages - since the time of tit for tat feedbacks....that's gone, Ebay has evolved and found a solution.

I do not understand this proposal.  If you want to sell outside eBay's MBG there are - I am led to believe - other sites that do not offer that.

All buyers start at "0"; you did and I did. 

Your post mentions "casual sellers and rogue buyers" ...

the feedback system is here in Ebay - that alone can help build some sort of reputation...
It's an option that's all - it will sell less or might direct the unsure buyer to opt for another seller who offer protection but I'd rather have that option and not incur in some nasty buyers out there.
Ebay has nothing to lose...and will have to spend less time in squabbles...
