New buyer protection fee

[uk_decov]

So the new buyer protection fee on every item sold or purchased sounds like a blanket transaction  fee thinly disguised  as a insurance... this should be optional for both the seller and the buyer shouldn't it? 

Don't understand  why it's now being done, when it's been working fine with the resolution centre for the last 10 years plus.. 

Please discuss who this transaction insurance is with?  And why when competing with prices with other retailers  it is often a small amount  eg 0.75p that makes the sellers price the best value.

I don't think Ebay mention 'transaction insurance' in the email at all so your question can't really be answered although details of the improved buyer protection can be found here, or by following the relevant link in the email.
