ROFLMAO – I can’t wait to see how China handles its dealings with Ebay when Mangled Payments suddenly has a glitch and doesn’t pay its Chinese Sellers when the monies are due!!! Also will be interesting to see what happens when they try to hold payments from those Sellers for SNADs when the Sellers refuse returns or refuse to pay for those SNAD returns. I truly wonder if Ebay is going to have a double standard for its Chinese Sellers where they are not subject to the same rules that the rest of us are, similar to how things truly work now since a Chinese Seller is supposedly unable to issue USPS return shipping labels and when pricing to return an item is more than the item cost in the first place.
with ebays past of not being truthful, I will not believe this until it really happens.
There’s a data report from Marketplace Pulse that 75% of all NEW Sellers on AMZ are Chinese. If EB is going to demand that the Chinese play in the management payment pool, I think a lot of them will reconsider doing business on EB.
