It used to be like that, thats the annoying thing!
I first started using ebay in 2001, and it was totally different from what it is now, its become and huge victim of its own success.
I hardly ever use it now, due to stupid fees, scammers and other bullshit that comes with using it, lets not forget the awesome fuckup that is paypal....but thats another subject altogether!
Somehow in 7 years I have managed to still have 100% feedback, which is quite something I suppose considering how many twats use it these days
