i was very very critical of the new system but i have kind of changed my tune along the way as there is definitely less scammers floating around ebay as there used to be and the sole reason is clearly the fact that they do not get the funds until the item has been confirmed as delivered ,so there is no more of this selling an item they do not have just to make a quick sale when clearly they are just looking for some quick cash and i am saying this because i recently paid £160 for a stone island jacket and a week later i still had not received it even though i paid £10.35 for royal mail special delivery which resulted in me getting a refund quicker from ebay than i ever had before, so for me you just need to work around the system and organise your selling needs accordingly
