s NEW STUPID POLICIES WILL HURT SELLERS

Hello Everyone:
okay anymore has a bunch of morons geing up with more stupid policies to more or less ruin the selling experience for sellers on okay.
okay is trying to make the sellers responsible for any and all items that are shipped to the buyer, technically this is pure bull and it is wrong.
we all know how packages get lost in the mail or by another shipper, so how can the seller be responsible for that?.
then okay is removing the insurance option to auctions, WHY?????.
okay is basically stating that if the item is to be insured it is up to the seller to include it as a handling fee or have it gee out of the sellers pocket.
Doesn't okay think they are bleeding the sellers enough with all of the fees on okay and the fees with pay pal.
okay is also trying to force a return policy upon the seller.
this is another can of worms that will hurt sellers on okay.
see there is a lot of sellers who sell junk lots, now if these items are sold as is, they should be sold as is.
that's not what okay thinks.
okay thinks that all of it's sellers are from Wal Mart or K Mart where all items are welgeed for returns.
the new seller program is proof that they want to force out all of the small sellers in favor of more sellers like power sellers or retailers.
okay uses strong are tactics like this message belowDear Seller!
It looks like your listing may include language that's not allowed on okay. For example, you can't say things like:
"I am not responsible for the item once its dropped in the mail."
"I am not responsible for lost or damaged items."
This kind of language could prevent you from achieving the okay Top-rated seller status or could lead to your being removed from the program.
Sellers are responsible for making sure that their item is delivered safely to the buyer.
Before gepleting your listing, be sure to make any necessary changes
okay is doing so many wrong things to attract buyers with all of their new policies.
I am a buyer and a seller on okay, and I really think they F'd up on all of the new things they are doing.
More than likely I will stop selling on okay at the end of September, under the new policies and guidelines, it's not worth it.
if I do keep on selling on okay after September, I plan on NO LONGER ACCEPTING PAY PAL as a payment option, I will get a merchant account, it's cheaper than pay pal and it's your rules, not okay's or pay pal's.
see okay is going back to an old rule that pay pal used.
if a buyer doesn't like the item, pay pal will issue the refund without the seller's approval and remove the money from the seller's pay pal account, or bank account without the seller's permission.
technically it is illegal if pay pal takes the money from your bank account or credit card without permission.
there is a way around this.
get a second bank account, then you link it to your pay pal account, so when you deposit money from pay pal, immediately transfer the money from the bank account that is used for pay pal into your regular bank account.
if pay pal tries to access your account for the funds, they can't touch it, and in most cases you won't get an nsf fee, if you do, let the bank know immediately that pay pal accessed your account without your permission, and the bank in most cases will wave the nsf charges and will help you go after pay pal.
sellers will have to do more to protect themselves in transactions, especially since okay is not doing anything to protect the sellers with all of their new policies.
it's nice they are tryign to make transactions safe for buyers, but it is a two way street and you have to protect the sellers.
MEG WHITMAN NEEDS TO BE FIRED, okay NEEDS A NEW CEO.
okay needs to hire someone who is experienced in sales and in customer service.
