Browsing the new aff_link("https://pages.ebay.co.uk/safetycentre/resolvingissues/index.html","help pages for transaction problems","","UK"); ?>, (which are actually quite good for both novice buyers and sellers) I couldn’t help but chuckle at the final step for “ aff_link("https://pages.ebay.co.uk/safetycentre/resolvingissues/upi_collapsed.html","My buyer didn't pay","","UK"); ?>”
There appears to be a mistake with the final step being “PayPal’s final decision” which I’m sure should actually read “You may be eligible for a final value fee credit”. (That’s unless PayPal can now adjudicate on cases where a buyer never actually paid? 😆 )

This move was an inadvertant presage of things to come.
Soon the only allowed payment method on eBay “venues” will be PayPal – to improve security and the user experience (plus eBay’s profits). Therefore PayPal will the final arbiter of whether buyers have paid or not, and thus if a FVF is allowed.
Good news then.
Good news for ebays bottom line I think you mean.
I’m with Dee on this one (and seeing as I have a buyer right now claiming a bounced echeque should let them off a UI strike, it’ll be interesting to see how this pans out…).
