It's a lot better system now, as said buyer was held to ransom on feedback unless he gave good feedback he would not receive good feedback, even if doing nothing wrong, crappy the old system.
I have a unpaid item strike thing going, bought something, less thna £5, paid by cheque as they accepted cheque, but REFUSED to give me thier address after asking 6 times, not on file either.
Then they complained to egay that the payment was late, so I got address from ebay, send off payment(cheque) 10 days later they file a unpaid item, and claimed not to have received the cheque which has already CLEARED in thier account, they also SIGNED FOR the cheque from postie!!
Ebay are useless, they(seller) are still claiming NOT to have received or signed for cheque, ebay don't want to know as usual.
