Ebay's new buyer protection scam

So I have been a seller on and off her since June 2001, Over the years I have sent items recorded delivery that either never turn up , or arrive with no notification of delivery.  Now someone wants to charge a buyer a fee for safe delivery, when they would have been charged that in the P&P cost.  Frankly it sounds more like a scam than customer service and Ebay are also trying to force us to use their shipping option, So much for free enterprise, sound like trying to get the monopoly on delivery as well.  As for hanging on the sellers cash til 2 days after delivery, really so post office goes on strike and you don't get paid, Think I may start looking to leave. So much for eBay's loyalty to us .

Ebay's new buyer protection scam

I have not promoted any of my items and I no longer sell internationally. I
sell mainly vinyl records - for instance a 7" vinyl single which I list for
£6 including postage now costs me 35p to list plus the buyer protection fee
of 96p, which adds up to £7.31. I'm not going to sell many records at that
price!

The 35p is because you have exceeded your limit of 300 free postings per month

Thank you - I wasn't aware of that. I had assumed that with the new buyer protection fee there would be no more listing fees.
