Thank you for your message. I hear what you say. However, I strongly believe it is wise to speak up when I am displeased  with a situation that could be amended. Otherwise the culprit will think I am perfectly happy when I am not.

You may think ebay will not change but if they believe the change may be productive or, enough people bring to their notice the same subject, they may decide to alter the procedure.

In other words my post may not necessarily be a negative. Don't ask, don't get.
