Okay, I just have to get something off my chest:

Did the unnamed reader quoted in the positive side of the article actually refer to small-volume sellers as slag and imply that they are less ethical as a group than big sellers? No matter how many times I see it, it still amazes me that someone could be so brazen! Such ignorant and insulting statements.

"Finally, if sellers really want to see the feedback rules stay the same, fine; I don't have a problem with that ... as long as they agree to begin shipping items first, before they're paid for."

Now THAT is unethical, in my humble opinion!

Okay, I'm finished.
