It's strange though, that if we the riff raff are now the minority, they are spending time, effort and money policing minority behaviour. If they are getting their major return from commercial sellers, why pursue the spare change?
To get rid of us. Small price to pay, it would be hard to frame rules to exclude rid-raf and as such there might be a bit of a backlash but the way they are creeping discouragement of small sellers.
My friend has just had just such an experience selling a lens, it was a good AF lens without a focus motor. It was clear in the listing it was for a body with a focus motor but because the buyer didn't understand the difference, he demanded a 'not as described' refund and eBay upheld the claim so they have clawed back the payment and instructed the buyer to return it at my friends expense.
Where the lens ever turns up remains be seen.
Currently eBay is right off his Christmas list.
