To give the seller reasonable time to sort out problems and to protect them
from vexatious buyers?

You mean it's not ok to walk into a shop and punch the prop in the face
before you ask for a refund on a faulty/misdescribed item?

Presumably so their competitors can't shaft them
using bogus transactions, transactions done just
so they can do nasty feedback to shaft them.

Bad feedback does have a dramatic effect on your powerseller status.

Unlikely. If it was for that, there wouldn't be a 7 day limit.

This is what I thought would happen whenEbay started to change its business
model away from auctions to shopping mall.


Have you noticed we have a fresh crop of auction sites appearing. I've even
heard radio ads for them.

Nope. Genuinely. I've not come across a single one. Can you name any of
'em? I'd be quite interested in having a look at 'em.

Like everyone else, I wish eBay had some decent competition, I've seen
one or two sites over the years, but rather tellingly I can't remember
their names. When I looked they had so few items, and presumably so few
bidders that if you hoped to achieve best price, you wouldn't choose to
use them ...
