I  quite often bid on an item being sold by auction but then go onto the sellers site to see what "Buy it now's" he has. I will then write to him to let him know that I have other items I would like to purchase so that he can post everything together. For a private seller this is now impossible so I miss out on cheaper postage and the seller misses out on additional sales. And if everything over £10 is tracked and signed for (and insured up to £50 by RM) why do I need "Buyer Protection" on something that is already insured. Ebay are trying to use the "Self Destruct" button for private sellers. BOOM
