I think thats an assumption on your part. So far, two or three individuals have
indicated that they *are* receiving mail from BB. I am not, but I am not letting
that interfer with my normal order functioning. I can still detect new orders by
looking at the "Orders / Received' screen, I can still download order detail
contents, I can still generate manual invoives (as I have always done). This has
not greatly interferred with my ability to fulfil orders, however I *suspect*
that it *is* having an impact on the order volume.

For the most part, the payment type that was presented in the BrickBay
distribution was meaningless to me. I always quote the full set of payments
amounts, then let the buyer decide at that time how to make payment.

A non-starter for me, as I have always generated my own invoices.

I think this is the real 'harm being caused'. If someone is really astute, they
*may* be able to detect additions / changes in the on-screen wanted report
detail. I suspect that some people do not take the time to look, and others may
miss an amount change (like adding more of a particular item). While BB did not
previously report amount changes (per se), when I do a batch upload, and combine
like entries, a 'Wanted' notification would have been geenrated for the new
entry, thereby triggering a glance from a prospective buyer.
