Well I think its great, as I've been ripped off on Ebay so many times. I've paid, and the seller apparently "Ships" my stuff, but low and behold they don't have a tracking #, they never get back to you after many emails, and after the cleared payment they really couldn't care. This isn't of course every seller, but I've had so many bad experiences on Ebay, that its about time they got tough with sellers. Its the buyer who usually looses out, and its money that's lost.

I do way more buying than selling, but I'd say there's an equal number of idiots on both sides. Overall, I think I've gotten more grief from clueless buyers than from shady sellers. I have been ripped off by sellers a couple times, but I don't see that as having any correlation with if sellers should be able to leave negative feedback or not. Sure, I've gotten some retaliatory feedback from sellers just because they didn't like the honest feedback I left them, but I'm not obsessed with having a perfect record. Anybody that I'd feel is worth conducting a transaction with should be smart enough to assess the situation and realize that it's petty, revenge feedback.
As for eBay pulling auctions, they've done that to me on multiple occasions, and in every case it was over something that they had no problem with previously. I had auctions pulled because I said I accepted concealed cash, I've had an auction pulled for a SFC to SNES converter because I guess they consider it some kind of illegal item (even though other sellers get away with selling them all the time), and probably other stuff I'm forgetting. Yet at the same time, I've seen large groups of people rally on message boards to report people selling mass amounts of pirated goods, only to see eBay do absolutely jack shit. eBay seems all about protecting the huge stores that pay tons of eBay fees and screwing the little guy that just wants to get rid of a few things.

He does not have Great Greed in his collection, therefore this posting is deemed irrelevant. =P

Huh? Just the carts? Some of those you could probably get for under five bucks...
I didn't know you're forced to go through Paypal to create an auction now. Paypal is owned by Ebay, so more profit for them, I guess.
It's also well known that Paypal has a pretty horrible reputation for consumer service. Everybody thinks Paypal is great until they get their first problem... and then it's hell.
It looks like both companies a starting to offer crappier and crappier service. Seems like Ebay has finally turned evil.

There's some problems about pricing stuff in Finland. I've been long time buying stuff from local auction site and sadly, people usually set the prices depending on how good or common the game is. For example, Metroids cost here usually over 20€ (just cartridge) while on the US its you can probably find it for about 5$ (which isnt even 1/4 of 20€).
Still, the site is very safe and so far I havent had single bad deal or anything like that. I've never used Ebay because I have no idea how to pay to someone who doesnt have a finnish bank-account.
