All of ebay's policies are one glove fits all - there is no other way - How would you propose ebay adopted an individual bespoke policy for each and every member ?
They do apply restrictions, penalties to those who abuse policies but by the virtue of volume it is an impossible task.
So like everything ebay they look for a solution that fits most members, which is determined by volume of satisfaction / dissatisfaction from members.
The volume of dissatisfaction is that sellers feel INR cases are unfair because they automatically refund buyers regardless of whether a seller posts the item due to lack of delivery confirmation,
Sellers claim that they do not post on time because they have to have the cleared funds to buy the postage causing a flood of dissatisfied buyers complaining to ebay.
Ebay react by introducing a system that makes sellers use a tracked service paid by the buyer and once the item enters the postal system ebay takes responsibility for delivery and damage in transit guaranteeing the seller payment at no cost to the seller yet you see this as a bad thing ?
A non professional seller of personal unwanted items - has not got to worry about measuring, postage, lost items, damaged items or payment, they have absolutely zero costs and yes may have to wait a few days before they get the sale proceeds but they are guaranteed.
I don't get it what disadvantage does that give a seller ?
You want to use a different service ? you can even when it becomes compulsory if you really want to but you lose the enhanced protection - so if you want to send untracked you can but when it does not arrive on time you lose your money.
You can send by a different carrier tracked and when it gets damaged - you refund the buyer.
What is the advantage in that ?
