Indeed. I received the same e-mails, "delete". Seems pretty weird, if you
ask me.

Well, all well and good, but there should be options on E-Bay on when you
list. Since I do most of my own setups, I don't think I have had a problem
yet. I will do a lot more when GATS is over with.

I think E-bay started using Paypal, and then they switched to Billpoint, and
I think they both better calm down, and negotiate or something. I don't have
a Billpoint account yet, and I have no real desire to get another service,
with more passwords, etc. Competition is great, but when you start annoying
customers to the point of saying forget about it, you need to rethink some
strategy.
As my "favorite" ex-president said, 'It would be funny if it wasn't so
pathetic."
