Also I insure items out of my own pocket, can't believe ebay doesn't think we need this option. 

 Please know that I strive to list with integrity and to provide my customers with nice items at the price that the auction sets.   I think 99.99% of the dealers on ebay feel this way so please talk to your seller before you attempt to destroy their reputation.  

Please notice ebay buyer bairbrec has elected to leave me negative even though I gave her 100 percent refund on an object that she made an error on.  This from a high finance person in NYC that frequents Carnigue hall and other high end places. Just another example of a person with money bullying their way around and ruining the system for honest people.  She even posted on want it now on ebay for additional items for this mixer she got!  But ebay continues to let her get away with stealing from people. 

This is why you see fewer and fewer people selling on ebay....we can't afford to be ripped off constantly by people like this.  Good luck with collectibles. The opportunity to buy them at decent prices on ebay is soon to be gone.  

 People that sell on ebay are Moms, handicap individuals, unemployed, students or people just trying to scrap a few dollars together for gas in these economic hard times. 

Here's another reason dealers are leaving ebay, I buy insurance out of my own pocket to protect customer littleshp, the post office apparently broke the plates, they refuse to file a claim and leave me negative...ebay does nothing to them and they get to ding me. Nice.  by the way, just discovered her and brairbec are connected...now ebay lets the thieves gang up on people.
